Overview

Immunohistochemical staining of the adrenal gland may be used for the diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency and it demonstrates hyperplasia, poorly defined zone borders, and intermingling of the chromaffin and cortical cells.

Other Diagnostic Studies

• Immunohistochemical staining of the adrenal gland may be used in patients with 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency and it demonstrates:

• Hyperplasia

• Poorly defined zone borders

• Intermingling of the chromaffin and cortical cells

• Amniotic fluid 11-deoxycortisol and oligonucleotide hybridization of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) obtained from chorionic villus biopsies
• DNA analysis
