Screening Tests for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Abstract
A method of plasma steroid determinations utilizing solvent partition separation and competitive protein-binding quantitation has been evaluated as a screening test for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Aliquots of petroleum ether (before and after incubation with 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase), benzene and dichlormethane extracts of a deproteinized plasma sample are compared to 17-hydroxyprogesterone, compound S and cortisol standards, respectively. Results in ng of steroid per ml of plasma are expressed as a precursor to cortisol ratio. Determinations on specimens other than cord blood allowed identification of normals (children and adults) and subjects with C-21 (children with CAH) or C-11 (adults post-metyrapone) hydroxylation defects. Patients with 3β-HSD or C-17 hydroxylation defects were not available for study but determinations on pooled plasma containing 17-hydroxypregnenolone or corticosterone suggest these defects could also be detected.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
