Özet

The management of children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) remains a challenge, especially with regard to their growth potential. We aimed to determine the correlation of the final height of Turkish children with classical CAH to their genetic height potential and to determine the effect of hydrocortisone replacement therapy on the final height.
