The Leo Fung Center for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) and Disorders of Sex Development (DSD), is a multidisciplinary clinical care and research facility that is built upon a unique collaboration between healthcare professionals at the University of Minnesota Medical Center - Fairview and the Minnesota Department of Health Newborn Screening program (MDH-NBS).  The Center addresses the varied and long-term spectrum of clinical needs for patients with CAH and other rare disorders of sex development.    

The Center's multidisciplinary health care team, which includes a pediatric endocrinologist/geneticist, pediatric urologic surgeon, OB-GYN, psychologists specializing in sexual health, advanced practice and research nurses, genetic counselors, and a public healthcare coordinator/newborn screening follow up specialist from the Minensota Department of Health.

We offer comprehensive diagnostic evaluations, consultations and coordinated follow up care based upon the initial clinical encounter.  On going follow up, based on individual and team assessments, is facilitated.  Team recommendations are summarized in a comprehensive report that is shared with the patient/family and primary care provider.

Clinical research participation opportunities are available to eligible subjects for new monitoring and treatment modalities.  The Center also serves as a resource for educational materials geared toward patients, parents and primary care providers.
