Overview
Prenatal diagnosis of 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency is advised in order to prevent complications of the disease further in life. Prenatal administration of dexamethasone, which is the drug of choice helps prevent complications.
Primary Prevention
- Prenatal diagnosis of 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency is advised in order to prevent complications of the disease further in life. Prenatal administration of dexamethasone, which is the drug of choice helps prevent complications.
- 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]
