Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) shows a range of severity which is explained in part by the different mutations of the CYP21 gene. To better understand the incomplete concordance between genotype and phenotype in CAH the role of the sensitizing N363S polymorphism of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) was examined in CAH patients.
