Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLO) is caused by inherited enzymatic deficiency of 7-dehydrocholesterol-โฌ 7 -reductase and resultant cholesterol deficiency. It comprises a characteristic combination of facial features, malformations, and mental retardation. We report on three related patients (two brot

Smith-Lemli-Opitz (SLO or RSH) syndrome is characterized by multiple congenital anomalies, mental retardation, and defective growth; it results from an inherited defect in the biosynthesis of cholesterol. Patients have elevated plasma concentrations of 7-dehydrocholesterol, the immediate biosyntheti
