Concentrations of testosterone, androstenedione, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHA), DHA sulfate (DHAS), progesterone, 17.alpha.-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) and hydrocortisone were determined in [human] amniotic fluid obtained at amniocentesis or at elective cesarean section. Male fetuses had significantly higher concentrations of testosterone and androstenedione than female fetuses had between 15 and 21 wk gestation, but not near term (36-40 wk). In both sexes progesterone and 17-OHP concentrations fell and DHA, DHAS, and hydrocortisone concentrations increased significantly with advancing gestational age. Amniotic fluid 17-OHP, testosterone, DHA and androstenedione levels from female fetuses with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) were more elevated in the 2nd trimester than in the 3rd. Three female fetuses at risk for CAH, but not affected, had normal steroid concentrations. Steroid concentrations from 2 fetuses with Klinefelter''s syndrome were not abnormal.
