PURPOSE: To assess the gender roles and behavioral outcomes in children with 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) in Southern China.
METHODS: A total of 50 individuals with 21-OHD participated in our study, (30 boys and 20 girls), as well as another 19 age-matched non-affected relatives of patients (12 boys and 7 girls). Psychological adjustment was assessed with a preschool activity survey and a Conner parent symptom questionnaire was modified for retrospective reporting.
RESULTS: The response rate of the questionnaire in the control group was only 36.5%. All the patients were diagnosed with salt-wasting of 21-OHD. Our study revealed that the masculine score was higher in male patients with 21-OHD than male controls and female patients. Compared with that in the female 21-OHD patient group, the masculine score in the female control group was lower, while comparative masculinization was found in the male controls. Regarding behavioral problems, there was a higher incidence of parent-reported problems among children with 21-OHD than controls, including conduct problems, impulsive hyperactivity, anxiety, and hyperactivity index.
CONCLUSION: Parents of 21-OHD patients in Southern China were unwilling to disclose the condition of their children to the society. Masculinization and behavioral problems were prevalent among patients with 21-OHD, which highlighted the importance of psychological and social support for 21-OHD patients and their families.
