Overview
Prenatal diagnosis of 21-hydroxylase deficiency is conducted to prevent complication of the disease in future life and treated with prenatal dexamethasone treatment.
Primary prevention
Prenatal diagnosis of 21-hydroxylase deficiency in those patients with positive family history, is conducted to prevent complication of the disease in future life and treated with prenatal dexamethasone treatment. The available tests are: Amniotic fluid testing and oligonucleotide hybridization of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) obtained from chorionic villus biopsies. Utilize fetal DNA extracted from maternal blood through noninvasive methods.[1]
