✦ Synopsis

We have reassessed patient "S," one of the first 3 individuals recognized to have Smith-Lemli-Opitz (or RSH) syndrome, at age 34 years, and we describe his physical, developmental, and behavioral manifestations. This reassessment provides formal evidence that this individual has the cholesterol biosynthetic defect which is thought to be the cause of Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome. Dietary manipulation appears to have had a beneficial effect on the patient's behavior and suggests that even in adults with this condition, dietary cholesterol supplementation may be indicated. Am.

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
