Praise for the First Edition: "Appropriate for both novice and experienced researchers, this collection demonstrates that the genetic basis has been located for each steroid disorder causing clinical and bioclinical abnormalities in patients. Ten of the 31 chapters describe the symptoms, cause, diagnosis, and treatment of the many disorders resulting from congenital adrenal hyperplasia.the definitive treatise belongs in every medical library." --ProtoView.com, February 2014
