CONTEXT: Determination of steroid levels in the amniotic fluid gives some insight on fetal adrenal and gonadal functions. OBJECTIVE: Our objectives were to establish reference ranges of 12 steroid levels throughout pregnancy and to compare them with steroid levels from pregnancies with fetuses presenting with 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD). METHODS: Liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was applied to 145 "control" amniotic fluid samples from gynecology activity (12 + 6 to 32 + 4 gestational weeks, GW). The following steroids were analyzed according to gestational age and compared to 23 amniotic fluid samples from fetuses with classic 21OHD confirmed by molecular studies: delta-4-androstenedione (D4), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17OHP), 11-deoxycortisol (11OH), 21-deoxycortisol (21OH), corticosterone, deoxycorticosterone (DOC), testosterone, pregnenolone, 17-hydroxypregnenolone (17Pregn), cortisol, and cortisone. Chromosomal sex was determined by karyotype and gestational age by biometric measurements. RESULTS: Analysis of control samples showed a statistically significant difference for D4 and testosterone levels according to fetal sex. Cortisol, corticosterone, and DOC had lower concentrations before 20 GW than after 20 GW, whereas 17Pregn and pregnenolone had higher concentrations before 20 GW. This allowed us to establish age- and sex-dependent reference values. We observed higher 21OH, 17Pregn, D4, and testosterone levels in females with 21OHD than female controls. The ratios 17OHP/17Pregn, D4/DHEA, and 11OH/17OHP appeared discriminant for the diagnosis of 21OHD. CONCLUSION: Our study provides information on fetal steroidogenesis and suggests reference values for 12 steroids during pregnancy. This allows a prenatal diagnosis of 21OHD within 24 hours and might be useful in the diagnosis of other variations of sex development.
