Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that girls with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) have higher levels of androgens (male hormones) in their bodies, which can lead to more masculinized behaviors such as being more active, aggressive, and interested in rough and tumble play. This is in comparison to their sisters and cousins who do not have CAH.
