Marked accumulation of 27-hydroxycholesterol in SPG5 patients with hereditary spastic paresis
Patients with a recessively inherited “pure” hereditary spastic paresis (SPG5) have mutations in the gene coding for the oxysterol 7 α hydroxylase (CYP7B1).

27-Hydroxycholesterol modulation of low density lipoprotein metabolism in cultured human hepatic and extrahepatic cells [PDF]
27-Hydroxycholesterol11Recent publications have chosen to use 27-hydroxycholesterol rather than the conventional name 26-hydroxycholesterol to indicate that the mitochondrial enzyme stereospecifically hydroxylates only the methyl group in position C-27 ...

Infants with the cholesterol synthesis defect Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLO) have reduced activity of the enzyme 7-dehydrocholesterol-7-reductase and accumulate 7-dehydrocholesterol, with the highest concentration in the brain.

The major oxysterols in human circulation are 7α-, 27-, and (24S)-hydroxycholesterol. Two unique experiments were performed to elucidate their origin and kinetics. A volunteer was exposed to 18O2-enriched air. A rapid incorporation of 18O in both 7α- and
