The Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Medical Genetics, 2000
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

open access: yesIndian Journal of Human Genetics, 2012
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]

open access: yes, 2019
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 ...

Identification of 19-nor-5,7,9(10)-cholestatrien-3 beta-ol in patients with Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1995
We have identified the third unknown sterol in the plasma and tissues of Smith-Lemli-Opitz homozygotes as 19-nor-5,7,9(10)-cholestatrien-3 beta-ol. The structure was established from capillary gas-liquid chromatography retention index and characteristic ...
