Now known as a Garrodian inborn error caused by the homozygous state of many different autosomal recessive mutations of the 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase gene leading to deficient conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol to cholesterol, the RSH (so-called Smith-Lemli-Opitz) syndrome has become a paradigmatic metabolic malformation syndrome in a pathway that also involves cause and pathogenesis of desmosterolosis, two forms of the Conradi-Hünermann-Happle type chondodysplasia punctata and its mouse homologs, and the Greenberg "moth-eaten" skeletal dysplasia and the CHILD syndrome.
Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is an inherited multiple malformation syndrome caused by enzymatic deficiency of 3beta-hydroxysterol-Delta(7)-reductase (DHCR7).
Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS; OMIM #270400) is an autosomal recessive malformation syndrome characterized by a large spectrum of morphogenic and congenital anomalies.
The Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS [MIM 270400]) is an autosomal recessive malformation syndrome that shows a great variability with regard to severity.
The Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS; also known as "RSH syndrome" [MIM 270400]) is an autosomal recessive multiple malformation syndrome due to a defect in cholesterol biosynthesis.
The case with bilateral renal agenesis presented a novel combination of a null allele and a putative C-terminus missense mutation in the DHCR7 gene CONCLUSIONS: In view of the discrepancy between the prevalence of SLOS among newborns and the carrier frequency of a heterozygous DHCR7 gene mutation, the syndrome-specific internal malformation pattern may be helpful not to miss SLOS diagnosis in fetuses at prenatal ultrasound and fetal autopsy.
Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (RSH/SLOS) is an autosomal recessive, malformation syndrome caused by mutations in the 3beta-hydroxysterol delta7-reductase gene (DHCR7).
The RSH/Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (RSH/SLOS) is an autosomal recessive malformation syndrome associated with increased levels of 7-dehydro-cholesterol (7-DHC) and a defect of cholesterol biosynthesis at the level of 3 beta-hydroxy-steroid-delta7-reductase (7-DHC reductase).
Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is a malformation syndrome caused by deficiency of 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase catalysing the last step of cholesterol biosynthesis.
Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is a malformation disorder caused by mutations in DHCR7, which impair the reduction of 7-dehydrocholesterol (7DHC) to cholesterol.
The discovery by G. Stephen Tint and his co-workers of the apparent 7-DHC reductase deficiency makes the RSH (Smith-Lemli-Opitz) syndrome the first true metabolic malformation syndrome.
Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is a multiple malformation syndrome due to mutations of the 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase gene (DHCR7), which leads to a deficiency of cholesterol synthesis and an accumulation of 7-dehydrocholesterol.
However, about 40% of patients with this malformation pattern show no abnormality after fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) analysis of the 17p13.3 region and LIS1 sequencing.
We found consistent differences in the gyral patterns, with the malformation more severe posteriorly in individuals with LIS1 mutations and more severe anteriorly in individuals with XLIS mutations.
To identify novel mutation in the PAX6 (paired box gene 6) gene and characterize new clinical features of severe ocular malformation in a Chinese patient with Peters' anomaly.
