Is there anything else I need to know about a 17-OHP test?If you or your child has been diagnosed with CAH, you may want to consult with a genetic counselor, a specially trained professional in genetics. CAH is genetic disorder in which both parents must have the genetic mutation that causes CAH. A parent may be a carrier of the gene, which means they have the gene but usually don't have symptoms of disease. If both parents are carriers, each child has a 25% chance of having the condition.
