| CAH |
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) refers to any of several autosomal recessive diseases resulting from defects in steps of the synthesis of cortisol from cholesterol by the adrenal glands. Most of these diseases involve excessive or defective production of sex steroids and can pervert or impair development of primary or secondary sex characteristics in affected infants, children, and adults. ...

| Cahn-Ingold-Prelog sequence r.’s |
in chemistry, a set of rules used to determine the absolute configuration of chiral molecules by assigning priority rankings to the atoms attached to a chiral center. Atoms directly attached to the chiral center are ranked in order of decreasing atomic number; if these are alike then the groups incorporating the atoms are ranked using the site of difference nearest the chiral center, with identical groups ranked on the basis of their nearest neighbors. Multiple bonds are treated as if the atoms of the bond are replicated once for each extra bond. Isotopes are ranked by descending atomic mass. See also E-, Z-, R-, and S-.
