21-Hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD) is the most common cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, followed in frequency by 11beta-hydroxylase deficiency (11betaOHD). Although the relative frequency of 11betaOHD is reported as between 3 and 5% of the cases, these numbers may have been somewhat underestimated.
