Context: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), CYP21A2 deficiency, results in cortisol and aldosterone deficiency and increased production of androgens, with a good genotype phenotype correlation. Objective: To study psychosocial outcomes in relation to clinical severity, CYP21A2 genotype, in men and women. Design: An epidemiological study with a matched cohort control design. Setting: All known CAH patients in Sweden. Participants: 588 patients, >95% with known severity of CAH; 100 controls per patient matched for sex, year and place of birth. Main outcome and measures: Proxies for quality of life were selected: level of education, employment, income, sick-leave, disability pension, marriage and children. Results: Women with salt-wasting (SW) CAH had completed primary education less often (OR 0.3), not explained by neonatal salt-crisis or hypoglycemia since the men did not differ from controls. Men and women in the less severe I172N genotype group were more likely to have an academic education (OR 1.8) SW women were more likely to have an income in the top 20 percentile (OR 2.0 ). Both men and women had more disability pension (OR 1.5) and sick leave (OR 1.7). The men more often had long lasting employment (OR 3.1). Men were more often (OR 1.6) while women were less often married (OR 0.7). Patients had children less often (OR 0.3). Conclusions: This study shows important outcome differences regarding education, employment, marriage and fertility depending on sex and severity of CAH. The mechanisms behind this and the increased risk for sick leave or disability pension in both men and women should be identified to improve medical and psychological care.
