Lethal acrodysgenital dwarfism: a severe lethal condition resembling Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome.
We report eight cases of a lethal association of failure to thrive, facial dysmorphism, ambiguous genitalia, syndactyly, postaxial polydactyly, and internal developmental anomalies (Hirschsprung's disease, cardiac and renal malformation). This syndrome is likely to be autosomal recessive and resembles Smith-Lemli-Opitz (SLO) syndrome. However, the lethality, the common occurrence of polydactyly...

متن کامل[Smith Lemli-Opitz syndrome].
BACKGROUND Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is an autosomic recessive metabolic affection. Children affected by SLOS exhibit a defect in cholesterol biosynthesis associated with a high concentration of cholesterol precursor 7 dehydrocholesterol (7 DHC) and its isomers, which is due to an enzymatic block at the level of delta-7-DHC reductase. SLOS has been subdivided into two types on the basis...

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. Moreover, the recent recognition of the important role of cholesterol in ver...
