This study aimed to evaluate CYP21A2 genotyping and reveal the genotype\u2013phenotype correlation in children diagnosed with 21\u2010OHD in the South\u2010eastern Anatolia region, where ethnic diversity and consanguineous marriage rates are high.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The patients were divided into three groups: salt wasting (SW), simple virilizing (SV) and non\u2010classical (NC). Pathogenic variants of the CYP21A2 gene were classified into six groups based on predicted 21\u2010hydroxylase activity: null\u2010A\u2010B\u2010C\u2010D\u2010E. CYP21A2 genotyping was performed by sequence\u2010specific primer and sequenced with next generation sequencing (NGS), and the expected phenotypes were compared to the observed phenotypes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The overall genotype\u2013phenotype concordance was found to be 73.1% (68\/93).

While the percentage of the expected clinical form of SV in patients in group B (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20095) was 80%, the concordance for the expected clinical form of NC for group C (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200925) was not strong enough (32%).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study demonstrates that children with 21\u2010hydroxylase deficiency show a good correlation between severe pathogenic variants and predicted clinical phenotypes; however, the correlation is not strong enough between milder variants. The discrepancies could have resulted from the complex characteristics of 21\u2010OHD genotyping and the limitations of using NGS alone without integrating with other comprehensive
