Hydroxyzine Effects on Post-Lanosterol Biosynthesis in Smith–Lemli–Opitz Syndrome (SLOS) Models [PDF]
Smith–Lemli–Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is a developmental disability arising from bi-allelic pathogenic variants in the 7-dehydrocholestrol reductase (DHCR7) enzyme and the accumulation of 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC).

Statins for Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome. [PDF]
Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is a multiple congenital malformations syndrome caused by defective cholesterol biosynthesis. Affected individuals show cholesterol deficiency and accumulation of various precursor molecules, mainly 7-dehydrocholesterol and 8-dehydrocholesterol.

Familial DHCR7 genotype presenting as a very mild form of Smith‐Lemli‐Opitz syndrome and lethal holoprosencephaly [PDF]
Smith‐Lemli‐Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder caused by variants in the DHCR7 gene. In cholesterol biosynthesis, 7‐dehydrocholesterol (7‐DHC) is converted to cholesterol by the enzyme 7‐DHC reductase, which is encoded by ...

Statins for Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome. [PDF]
This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows: 1. To evaluate the efficacy of statin therapy in reducing the frequency or severity of the neurobehavioral abnormalities seen in people with SLOS (e.g. aggression, anxiety, irritability, self-mutilation, autistic behaviors, sleep disturbances, etc.) (Wassif 2017). 2.

Assessing Postnatal Mortality in Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Smith–Lemli–Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by pathological variants in DHCR7, resulting in a deficiency in the enzyme 7‐dehydrocholesterol reductase. This results in elevated levels of cholesterol precursors and typically low cholesterol levels, leading to a range of physical and cognitive challenges ...
