Desmosterolosis: an illustration of diagnostic ambiguity of cholesterol synthesis disorders [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Desmosterolosis is an autosomal recessive disorder of cholesterol biosynthesis caused by biallelic mutations of DHCR24 (homozygous or compound heterozygous), which encodes 3-β-hydroxysterol Δ-24-reductase. We report two sisters homozygous for the 571G>
