The Lecture/ Support Group Meeting Was a Huge Success!



On November 14, 2001, CARES Foundation, Inc., in conjunction with Dr. Maria
New and New York Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Cornell Medical Center, hosted
its first lecture/support group meeting for CAH families. Dr. New presented
the findings of her newly published study on prenatal therapy for mothers at
risk of giving birth to a CAH virilized females. For discussion of that
study, please see article below. Dr. Susan Baker, the psychologist at
Cornell who works with Dr. New and counsels many CAH patients and their
families, also presented her findings on a study of frequently asked
questions by adults who suffer from CAH and non-classical CAH. Most
affected individuals were concerned about treatment options and side effects
of medications and the disease. Dr. Baker is preparing a booklet that will
address the most frequently asked questions. Dr New also discussed her gene
therapy research that holds the promise of a potential "cure" for CAH. CARES
Foundation, Inc. presented Dr. New with a check representing its first
research grant for the Gene Therapy program at Cornell-Weill Medical Center
to support Dr. New's research.



The lecture was videotaped. Copies will be available for a small fee from
CARES Foundation in mid-December.



The best part of the evening for me (Kelly), however, was meeting the many
families who attended. There were several whom I had spoken to over the
phone or corresponded with, but I was finally able to put a face to the
name. People brought photos of their beautiful children and we shared our
experiences. One couple attended who had just given birth to a CAH daughter
13 days prior. Their daughter was still in the hospital. Parents who had
been through the same experience were able to reassure them that their
daughter would be fine. It was a wonderful, heartwarming, supportive and
educational experience for me and I hope for the others who attended. I hope
many more will be able to attend our next lecture/support group meeting on
February 27th.



Our Next Lecture/ Support Group Meeting with Dr. New is Scheduled for
February 27th! Save the Date!



On February 27th, 2002, CARES Foundation, Inc. will be sponsoring another
lecture and support group meeting with Dr. New at NY Presbyterian
Hospital -Weill Cornell Medical Center. The lecture will address issues of
concern for non-classical CAH individuals and families, but most topics will
be of interest to classical CAH patients as well. Since Dr. New ran out of
time at the last lecture and was unable to discuss Growth Hormone therapy,
we hope she will address this subject at this lecture. Please mark your
calendars and plan to come! An Email alert with details will be sent out
closer to the event.



New Study By Dr. Maria New on the Benefits and Safety of Prenatal Therapy



In the December edition of the Journal Of Clinical Endocrinology and
Metabolism, Dr. New will be publishing her study Prenatal Diagnosis for
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia in 532 Pregnancies. Her study confirms the
safety and efficacy of prenatal treatment for expectant mothers and their
babies at risk for virilization from CAH. It shows no apparent risk to child
(CAH-affected or not) or mother.



The treatment involves the pregnant mother taking dexamethasone starting at
or before the 9th week of pregnancy to suppress the excess adrenal androgen
secretion and prevent virilization should the fetus be a CAH-affected
female. Once diagnosis is made via chorionic villus sampling or
amniocentesis and the fetus is an unaffected female or a male, the treatment
is discontinued. If the fetus is diagnosed as an affected female, the
treatment is continued through the remainder of the pregnancy. The mother
must be carefully followed by during the pregnancy. The study shows that
there were no real differences in the symptoms during pregnancy between
those treated with the dexamethasone and those untreated, except that
additional weight gain (which was lost after pregnancy), edema, and striae
(stretch marks) were somewhat greater in the treated group. There were no
lasting side effects in the fetuses proving that the treatment is safe. Most
importantly, of those mothers who began the treatment at or before the 9th
week of pregnancy, the amount of virilization was substantially reduced or
in many cases completely eliminated. The vast majority of female
CAH-affected babies whose mothers were treated with Dex beginning by the 9th
week of the pregnancy and completed the course of treatment did not require
any surgery for virilization. The prenatal treatment spares the female the
consequences of genital ambiguity, potential surgery and possible sex
misassignment.



We at CARES Foundation, Inc. thank Dr. Maria New for her groundbreaking
research on prenatal therapy that will improve the quality of life for so
many CAH affected females.



Update on Newborn Screening



Beginning on January 1, 2002, a number of states will add CAH to their
newborn screening programs including Oregon, Virginia, Arizona and Missouri.
Arizona and Oregon will be doing a 2-part screen that detects a greater
number of simple virilizers and non-classicals than the standard screen. In
April, 2002 New York will finally begin screening for CAH, and the state
will be doing genotyping as an adjunct to the regular testing. This will
help to determine the type of CAH affecting the child. Vermont just approved
adding CAH screening, but has no set start date finalized. We also applaud
the Health Departments of Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, Delaware and
Maine that began CAH newborn screening in the last 6 months. With the
addition of Vermont, the number of states that screen for CAH at birth is
34!

Dr. Piero Rinaldo of the Mayo Clinic is completing his research on the
usefulness of Tandem Mass Spectrometry technology in CAH screening and its
ability to eliminate up to 95% of all false positive results, as well as its
ability to detect a greater number of simple virilizers and non-classicals.
We are looking forward to seeing the results of his research.

In addition, NeoGen Screening, Inc. a private laboratory in Pennsylvania is
doing research on genotyping in CAH newborn screening. This would also
provide better accuracy in newborn screening for CAH.



CARES Foundation's Advocacy Efforts For Expanded Newborn Screening



CARES Foundation is stepping up its efforts to advocate for CAH newborn
screening in all states. Unfortunately, many states still do not screen for
CAH at birth despite its life-saving benefits. That means that all classical
CAH male babies and those females who are so virilized they are sent home as
males born in those states are at risk of dying or suffering a traumatic and
life-threatening adrenal crisis.



For more information about CAH newborn screening, please visit the CARES
Foundation web site at http://www.caresfoundation.org/nbs.html.



In California, we are working with the March of Dimes, which is making CAH
newborn screening one of its top legislative priorities. I need California
residents to help CARES Foundation advocate for the addition of CAH
screening to the California newborn screening program. It involves letter
writing, making telephone calls to legislators, reaching out to and speaking
to the media, speaking at hearings if necessary, and taking advantage of any
personal contacts we might have. It would be especially helpful if someone
has a connection to the Governor of California, as he is the person holding
things up right now.

We should also get our California pediatric endocrinologists, OB/GYNs and
pediatricians to get involved. Ask them to write letters and make phone
calls.



I need one person to act as the State coordinator, who will work closely
with the March of Dimes and coordinate the efforts of the other parents.
Beyond that I just need lots of "noise makers" It may take a while, but if
we can make enough noise, they can't ignore us.

Also, any parents in any state who have, unfortunately, lost their child
because they were not identified as having CAH in time, please contact me.
If you would be willing to speak out about your tragedy, you might be able
to help save the life of another family's child.

We have parents in Ohio and Utah coordinating the efforts there as well, but
they need more help. If you live in a state that does not screen for CAH at
birth and you are willing to work on advocacy, your efforts would be truly
helpful. CARES Foundation will instruct you on advocacy if needed.



Please email or call Kelly Leight if you can help out at
Kelly@... or call 1-866-227-3737 (outside NJ) or in NJ -
973-912-3895.



Kelly Leight To Speak as A Panel Member at Robert Wood Johnson Medical
School on January 8, 2002.



Kelly Leight has been invited to participate in panel discussion of the
issues and controversy surrounding surgical options for children born with
ambiguous genitilia before the medical students and faculty at Robert Wood
Johnson Medical School in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The other panelists
include Dr. William Reiner from Johns Hopkins, Dr. Nina Williams, a
therapist who counsels women with CAH, and several CAH adult women. Kelly
Leight's presentation will focus on the necessity for support for parents
and the importance of sensitivity to the concerns of parents. The panel
discussion is from 9-11 am at the medical school. The lecture is not open to
the public, but if you wish to attend, contact Kelly Leight, and she will
make entry arrangements for you.



Volunteers Needed!



Please Contact Kelly Leight if you can help with any of the following:

We need someone to work on getting the charity registrations in key states.
This involves phone calls (out of state) and sending the needed documents to
the states.

We need someone to work with another NY state mom to organize a family day
event in the spring. Soup to nuts--do everything. Call Susan Donohoe at
845-265-3306 if you can help with Family Day.

Susan is also coordinating the creation of a video about living with CAH. If
you have special skills related to video and film, please call her as well.

We need someone to put together our newsletter (semi or bi annual) with
updates via email. I also need written contributions from parents on topics
of interest.

We need someone to coordinate fundraising activities and someone to write
some grants. Contacts with drug companies and medical insurance companies
help.

Once all of our materials are together, we will need someone to mail them
out whenever we get a request. We also need people to bring brochures to
their endocrinologists' offices.

We need a national newborn screening coordinator--someone to keep track of
CAH screening in the states.

Kindly specify exactly which of the above projects you are willing to help
with.





About CARES Foundation, Inc.



Two years ago, our daughter, Alyssa, was diagnosed with a genetic disorder
called non-classical Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH). As we attempted
to research the disease, we found that there were no active support
organizations for families and affected individuals and few resources for
learning about the disease despite the fact that the non-classical form of
the CAH is the most common genetic disease identified to date. My husband
Adam and I felt that we could make a difference in the lives of those
affected by all forms of CAH and their families and could help to publicize
the non-classical form of the disease in the most affected ethnic groups.
So, this past year, we formed CARES Foundation, Inc. (Congenital Adrenal
hyperplasia Research Education and Support), a non-profit 501c(3)
organization. Its purpose is to educate the public and physicians about all
forms of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia, its symptoms, diagnostic protocols,
treatment, genetic frequency, the necessity for early intervention and
benefits of newborn screening. It is also dedicated to providing support and
information to affected individuals and their families. We also will provide
medical scholarships to those in need and donate funds to CAH-related
research. CARES Foundation, Inc. can only continue its work through your
tax-exempt donations and support.

Thank You,

Kelly R. Leight, Founder and Executive Director

Dear Family and Friends,

In this holiday season, our family has chosen to support an organization
dear to our hearts. It is a relatively new organization, so any gift you can
make would be particularly meaningful. CARES Foundation, Inc. (Congenital
Adrenal hyperplasia Research Education and Support) is a non-profit 501c(3)
organization dedicated to educating the public and physicians about all
forms of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia, its symptoms, diagnostic protocols,
treatment, genetic frequency, the necessity for early intervention and
benefits of newborn screening. It is also dedicated to providing support and
information to affected individuals and their families. CARES Foundation,
Inc. can only continue its work through your tax-exempt donations and
support.

As many of you know, [I am] our child[ren], _________, is [are] affected by
a form of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia. Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is
a family of inherited disorders affecting the adrenal gland. The most common
form is 21-hydroxylase deficiency, which is inherited in severe or mild
forms. The severe form, called Classical CAH (CAH), is usually detected in
the newborn period or in early childhood. The genetic frequency of Classical
CAH is approximately 1 in 15,000 births. The milder form, called
Non-Classical CAH (NCCAH), may cause symptoms at anytime from infancy
through adulthood. Non-Classical CAH is a much more common disorder than
Classical CAH. It affects 1 in 100 in the general population of New York
City and is most common in certain ethnic groups. It affects 1 in 27
Ashkenazi Jews, 1 in 40 Hispanics, 1 in 53 Croatians, and 1 in 300 Italians.
This frequency makes NCCAH the most frequent genetic disorder identified to
date.

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH), in its severest form, is a
life-threatening disorder. It is caused by a defect in the gene coding for
an enzyme, steroid 21-hydroxalase, important to cortisol production and
without which adrenal insufficiency results. Its severest form, called
Classical CAH, carries with it a salt-wasting factor-- an inability to
produce aldosterone, which, if undetected at birth, can lead to adrenal
crisis and death. Frequently, these babies present for urgent medical
attention at a time when they are beyond resuscitation. Classical CAH
children with careful medical care can live a long and normal life. There
are many health issues that families and individuals are presented with
throughout their lives, but the disease can be managed with medication.

Non-Classical CAH (NCCAH), is much more common than Classical CAH.
But-perhaps because it is less severe and harder to recognize than the
classical form of the disease, NCCAH has not received the attention it
deserves as a widespread condition that affects health and quality of life.
Symptoms of NCCAH include: premature puberty, premature adrenarche (manifest
as body odor or pubic hair in young children), abnormal bone aging leading
to rapid growth in early childhood but ultimate short stature, severe acne,
oily hair and skin, and later in life, infertility in men and women. Anxiety
and depression are also common symptoms. These symptoms are treatable with
glucocortiods.

CARES Foundation, Inc. provides many services to the CAH community including
a physician referral service for parents and affected adults, educational
lectures, support groups, maintenance of a web site with many resources, and
providing of free informational materials. It also provides medical
scholarships to needy families for specialist care and grants to medical
institutions for CAH-related research. We hope to expand the services CARES
Foundation, Inc. offers to the CAH community and its efforts to educate the
public, the medical community and the most affected ethnic groups about
NCCAH. It also supports parent efforts to expand newborn screening programs
to include screening for CAH at birth as it did with great success in
several states this past year.

We ask you to consider supporting CARES Foundation, Inc. and its efforts to
provide these services and support to those affected by this disease. Your
tax deductible contribution to CARES Foundation, Inc. will help the
organization to continue its work.

Happy Holidays to all!
