Abstract
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia attributable to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) is a disorder of adrenal steroidogenesis. Achievement of optimal growth by such patients is challenging. We evaluated the adult height of Taiwanese children with 21-OHD and the effect of a gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue (GnRHa) in patients with central precocious puberty (CPP) complicating 21-OHD.
