infant blood tests

the usual infant blood tests for CAH check for HIGH 17 ohp levels, - these are present in classical CAH. In nonclassical CAH these levels are sometimes just the opposite - low - so not detected.

i imagine in canada every child is tested for classical CAH effects at birth - this happens in many countries.
