The Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome [PDF]
The Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is one of the archetypical multiple congenital malformation syndromes. The recent discovery of the biochemical cause of SLOS and the subsequent redefinition of SLOS as an inborn error of cholesterol metabolism have led to important new treatment possibilities for affected patients.

Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome is an autosomal recessively inherited disorder. A severe defect in cholesterol biosynthesis has been identified leading to abnormally low plasma cholesterol levels and elevated levels of the cholesterol precursor 7-dehydrocholesterol, the result of deficiency of 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase.

Atrioventricular canal defect and genetic syndromes: the unifying role of sonic hedgehog [PDF]
The atrioventricular canal defect (AVCD) is a congenital heart defect (CHD) frequently associated with extracardiac anomalies (75%). Previous observations from a personal series of patients with AVCD and "polydactyly syndromes" showed that the distinct ...

Stability study of dehydrocholesterols in dried spot of blood from patients with Smith–Lemli–Opitz syndrome, using filter-paper treated with butylated hydroxytoluene [PDF]
Considering the clinical importance of implementing a screening method for cholesterol and dehydrocholesterols in dried blood spot, this study aims to standardize the preanalytical variability of DHC in DBS for detecting SLOS by using filter paper ...
