HI SPOOH, I REALLY HOPE YOU MAKE SURE YOU GET ALL OF THE ACCURATE INFORMATION ON WHETHER YOUR CHILDREN CAN GET CAH OR ANY OTHER FORM OF THIS ILLNESS. IM SORRY TO SAY THAT RICK IS MISINFORMED. I HAVE A CHILD WITH CAH AND I AM A CARRIER. HE WAS MY FIRST BORN AND HIS BIOLOGICAL FATHER WAS ALSO A CARRIER. WE WERE UNAWARE AT THE TIME UNTIL MY SON WAS BORN. NEEDLESS TO SAY 15 YRS LATER DIFFERENT HUSBAND NEW BABY THROUGH IVF SHE HAS NCCAH. IF YOU ALONE ARE A CARRIER YOUR CHILD STILL HAS A 1 IN 4 CHANCE OF BEING A CARRIER , HAVING CAH OR OTHER FORM , OR NOT AT ALL. WE LEARNED EVERYTHING WE NEEDED TO KNOW FROM A GREAT ENDOCRINOLOGIST. YOU WERE ALSO ASKING ABOUT 11 DEOXYCORTISOL MY GIRL'S IS ELEVATED TO 491. AND THEY ARE NOT SURE WHY. SHE POSSIBLY HAS A DIFFERENT FORM. HER 17 PROGEST IS ALSO 474 TO 491. SO I URGE YOU TO TALK TO MANY SPECIALISTS AND NOT TO ONLY ONE.OUR CHILDREN ARE VERY SPECIAL AND FOR SOME OF US WE GO THROUGH GREAT LENTH'S TO HAVE THEM. I HOPE THIS DOES NOT DISCOURAGE YOU BUT HELPS YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
