Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLO) is caused by inherited enzymatic deficiency of 7-dehydrocholesterol-⌬ 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 syndrome (SLOS) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by minor facial anomalies, mental retardation, and multiple congenital abnormalities. Biochemically, the disorder is caused by deficient activity of 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase, which catalyzes the reduction of the
Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS, RSH/SLO syndrome, MIM 270400) is an autosomal recessive multiple malformation/mental retardation syndrome initially described by Smith et al.
