Abstract
Male and female infants have significantly different mean 17-OHP levels on newborn screening, and female infants comprise most of the infants with false-negative results. Although health professionals should not assume that newborn screening for 21-OH-D-CAH is a means of identifying all affected infants, the primary goals of newborn screening for CAH (prevention of salt-wasting crises and sex misassignment) are fulfilled.
