Re: signs of puberty in a non-cah child?

I'm glad you're taking her in....having her tested is the only way to find out if she has CAH. Do you notice any other symptoms? Our daughter is classic, non-salt-wasting..and we didn't find out until she was almost 4 yrs old. (She falls under the "classic" category in that she has the simple virilizing form of CAH--clitoromegaly, pubic hair, and increased 17-OHP levels). From what I've read and heard, I believe siblings from the same family can have different 'combinations' of this disorder: severe salt-wasting, mild non-SW, etc. Good luck..and let us know what happens.
