Our son was checked for CAH at 3 weeks of age on account of my familiy history. The blood tests (17-OH Progesterone level) were positive for the non-salt-loosing-form. Therefore he has been given cortison since then, even though he has never showed any symptoms of the illness. In the meantime, 1 year later we have now had 2 DNA-Tests done on Simon and 1 each on my husband and I. All tests were negative (95% accuracy). A following blood test done on Simon showed normal 17-OHP levels. Our doctors then decided to fade out the cortison and see what happens. After 5 weeks we are down to 1 mg Cortison per day (from 4,5mg) with 2 more weeks to go until Simon stops getting the medication. So far he hasn't shown any symptoms at all and is doing fine. We hope for the best... Our doctors at the University Clinic in Hamburg, Germany, cannot explain the situation, say though they have had similar cases before. But also cases where, dispite negative DNA-Testing as with our son, when the cortison is reduced the children show the typical CAH-symptoms and have to continue with the medication. Has anyone else had our experience?
