Genomic newborn screening: ICoNS v0.27 CYP21A2 Thomas Minten changed review comment from: On RUSP website CYP21A2 specifically mentioned as causative gene
ClinGen: haploinsufficiency score of 30, high level of evidence
Prevalence SW-CAH and SV-CAH: 1:11,000-1:14,000
Disease pathway: enzyme 21-hydroxylase produces cortisol and aldosterone -> important for hormone balance
Presentation in neonatal onset, childhood: poor feeding, vomiting, weight loss or failure to thrive, excessive sleepiness or lethargy, irritability, and diarrhea. In females, ambiguous genitalia
Treatment: Lifelong glucocorticoid replacement therapy (such as hydrocortisone)

Inheritance: biallelic (recessive), autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Current screening method for CAH:
First tier: 17‑hydroxyprogesterone (17‑OHP)
Second tier: steroid profiling/CYP21A2 genotyping

Included (in 2024) in 16/27 gNBS programs, ranks 130 out of 4390
Included in BabyDetect, BabyScreen+,Generation, Beginnings, Puglia, Screen4Care, Nurture,…
Not in Guardian, EarlyCheck Chen et al and several commercial panels

Problem: Standard WGS methodologies face challenges in accurately detecting CYP21A2 variants because of this homology and population complexity. Therefore, by most programs is only used in conjunction with 17-OHP levels.
Sources: Other; to: Gene causes adrenal hyperplasia, congenital, due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency
ClinGen: haploinsufficiency score of 30, high level of evidence
Prevalence SW-CAH and SV-CAH: 1:11,000-1:14,000
Disease pathway: gene important for production of enzyme 21-hydroxylase, which in turn produces cortisol and aldosterone which is important for hormone balance
Presentation in neonatal onset, childhood: poor feeding, vomiting, weight loss or failure to thrive, excessive sleepiness or lethargy, irritability, and diarrhea. In females, ambiguous genitalia.
Treatment: Lifelong glucocorticoid replacement therapy (such as hydrocortisone)
Inheritance: biallelic (recessive), autosomal or pseudoautosomal

Current biochemical screening method for CAH is performed in most countries:
First tier: 17‑hydroxyprogesterone (17‑OHP)
Second tier: steroid profiling/CYP21A2 genotyping

High genotype phenotype correlation as discussed in PMID 23359698

Included (in 2024) in 16/27 gNBS programs, ranks 130 out of 4390
Included in BabyDetect, BabyScreen+,Generation, Beginnings, Puglia, Screen4Care, Nurture,…
Not in Guardian, EarlyCheck, Chen et al. and several commercial panels

Problem: Standard WGS methodologies face challenges in accurately detecting CYP21A2 variants because of homology and population complexity. Therefore, by most gNBS programs the results in this gene are only used in conjunction with 17-OHP levels.
