Talk:Congenital adrenal hyperplasia

message: Article says: "The incidence varies geographically. In the United States, congenital adrenal hyperplasia is particularly common in Native Americans and Yupic Eskimos (incidence 1/280). Among American Caucasians, the incidence is approximately 1/15,000.[4]"
This is not a "geographic" distinction. There are Native Americans all throughout the United States. People are not "Native Americans and Yupic Eskimos" based on their "geography."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.125.67.217 (talk) 13:52, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

message: This used to be known as Adrenogenital Syndrome and is still sometimes be referred to as such. How about a redirect page "Adrenogenital Syndrome" and the addition of "originally known as . . . ." to this article?
If you look in the history section, it already says that it used to be known as adrenogenital syndrome. A redirect from adrenogenital syndrome has existed since 2004. alteripse 00:31, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Any takers?

message: I have been reading around the subject of CAH and noticed hypertension listed as a symptom this is contradictory to www.healthscout.com and Wikipedia’s article on Addison (a similar condition) which suggest it should be hypotension not hypertension.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.81.199.54 (talk) 12:26, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: 17a and 11b are associated with hypertension, and 21a is associated with hypotension. Because 21a is by far the most common type, hypotension is more common than hypertension. --Arcadian (talk) 18:05, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Gender identity varies among cases. According the journal Pediatrics, 90% of these patients eventually identify themselves as female.Summary of Consensus Statement on Intersex Disorders and Their Management. Pediatrics.  Gender should not be assigned prior to birth and without expert care. Parents of the patient are recommended to raise them as female. Patients who choose to live in the gender other than what they were assigned may or may not considered themselves transexual or transgender because they are primarily self-ascribed labels. The American Psychiatric Association does not diagnose them with gender identity disorder.
"These girls display some degree of behavioral masculinization; as described by their siblings and parents they seem to have the following characteristics: engge in increased physical activity,characterized as tomboys, prefer male playmates, perfer typical male toys to typical female toys, fewer games the stimulate mother like behaviors like "house," not much interst in the care of infants, less interested in their looks, and have fewer fantasys that other girls about marriage and having children."  (Nelson, Randy. An introduction to behavioral endocrinology. Sinauer Associates:Massachusetts. 2005: pg 206) 
:I removed the above section because it was misplaced, mistaken, and misleading. Among the problems with it: You could not guess from the wording that the writer actually understands that, as shown in the 1950s by John Money and corroborated by every study done since, the vast majority of people with CAH, like most people everywhere, develop a gender identity that matches their sex of rearing. And again, to no one's surprise, people "who choose to live in the gender other than what they were assigned may or may not considered themselves transexual or transgender" (regardless of whether they have CAH or not). The additional assertion that this is a claimed rather than imputed label is simply silly: one might make a fair argument that gender identity and gender dysphoria are self-claimed status and condition, but the social labels of "transsexual" and "transgender" refer to categories that can be objectively described and assigned by others. Moving on, I have a hunch the contributor does not understand that the "90%" refers not to all people with CAH, but only to a subset of genetic females with a specific type of CAH (21OH of severe degree). Of course the APA does not diagnose people with CAH with a gender identity disorder-- hardly any doctors ever have. But gender certainly can and should be assigned before birth; this prevents mistaken assignment of potentially fertile genetic females as males, and if done early enough gives the parents an opportunity to treat to reduce virilization. Finally, while the last paragraph is true of the subset of genetic females with severe 21OH CAH raised as girls, it is not true of the overall majority of people with CAH and belongs not here but in the appropriate section of the 21OH article.  alteripse (talk) 03:34, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm not really an editor nor even really know how to format edits, but thought I'd give an update. CAH-X is a newer term to describe having a 21-hydroxylase deficiency with a phenotype of Elhers Danlos Syndrome. It comes in varying levels and can be present from classical CAH to NCAH. I'm not sure how to format links so I apologize.
