Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) refers to a group of autosomal recessive disorders that impair cortisol biosynthesis. CAH represents a continuous phenotypic spectrum with over 95% of all cases caused by 21hydroxylase deficiency. CAH owing to 21hydroxylase deficiency is the most common cause of genital ambiguity in the newborn and is present in about 1 in 15000 live births worldwide

Features
Liquid Chromatography Tandem mass spectrometry (LCMSMS) techniques allows for the simultaneous specific determination of 17OHP and other steroids related with CAH such as androstenedione cortisol 11deoxycortisol and 21deoxycortisol. Application of this technology to the determination of steroids in newborn blood spots significantly enhances the correct identification of patients with CAH and reduces the number of falsepositive screening results when implemented as a secondtier analysis performed prior to reporting of initial newborn screen results.

Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is an endocrine disorder of newborns characterized by the decreased levels of thyroid hormones: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) in periferal blood. In early perinatal period manifestations of CH are often non-specific, subtle or even non-existent [1-2]. However, the disease, if undiagnosed and untreated, leads to severe

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder affecting the lungs, pancreas, intestine and liver. CF is the most common in Caucasians with an incidence rate 1:2500 newborns. CF is caused by mutation in the gene for the protein cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CTFR) [1,2]. Large-scale neonatal screening for CF is performed by indentification of increased levels of immunoreactive trypsinogen (IRT) in blood.

Neoscreen 17OHP
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) includes a group of disorders in which the cortisol production by adrenals is lowered. Cortisol is a steroid hormone necessary to maintenance of blood sugar level, partial maintenance of body fluids and electrolytes and protection of the body against stress. CAH cannot be cured, but it can be effectively treated by steroid substitution therapy if detected in early stage of life and disease course.
