Overview
Prenatal diagnosis for 21-hydroxylase deficiency may be used in diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Different tests which may be used are:amniotic fluid 11-deoxycortisol and oligonucleotide hybridization of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) obtained from chorionic villus biopsies; and utilize fetal DNA extracted from maternal blood through noninvasive methods.
