CHARGE
- Coloboma
- Heart defects
- Atresia of the choanae
- retardation (growth +/_ mental)
- GU abn
- ear anomalies
what is adrenoleukodystrophy?
X-linked; mutation prevents transport of VLCFA into peroxisomes, preventing their B-ox/breakdown
how does adrenoleukodystrophy present?
- accum of abnormal VLCFA in organs (neurons and adrenal cortex)
- neuro: weak/spastic -> dementia, blindness, quadriparesis
- primary adrenal insufficiency: hypo Na, postural HoTN, hyper K, lack of response to cosyntropin test

DOC for persistent asthma:
- use B2 agonist 3x/week
- symptomatic 3x/week
- 2 exacerbations in 6 months requiring oral steroids

glomerulonephritis
how should subsequent pregnancies be managed if first born has CAH salt losing type?
- give dexamethasone to mom beginning at 6 weeks gestation (crosses placenta, suppresses fetal adrenal steroid secretion, prevents masculinization)
