SW: classical salt wasting; SV: classical simple virilizing; BMI: body mass index; BSA: body surface area; FC: fludrocortisone. The dose of daily glucocorticoid (GC) was converted into milligrams of daily hydrocortisone equivalent (1 mg dexamethasone = 14 mg prednisolone = 70 mg hydrocortisone). Mutation grouping was done according to Krone et al. [30]; nc: not classified; nd: not done.
