چکیده

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 of clinical severity: type I is the classic and type II is the severe one. CASE REPORT A full term female was born from a pregnancy complicated by oligoamniosis and intra-uterine growth retardation. The neurologic status was immediately impaired with severe hypotonia, absence of reflexes, and abnormal crying. She exhibited multiple congenital anomalies with a facial dysmorphia, anomalies of members, unicornus uterus and a pyloric stenosis. Plasmatic concentration exhibited a normal cholesterolemia contrasting with an elevated level of 7 and 8 DHC. Major alimentary tract defect led to enteral and parenteral nutrition. The severe neurological defect led to death on the 16th day of life. CONCLUSION Despite normal blood cholesterol levels that can be attributed to enteral and parenteral nutrition, the severity of clinical findings and the lethal course permit to classify this case as type II.

Identification of a novel DHCR7 mutation in a Korean patient with Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome.

Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome is a unique malformation syndrome characterized by a defect in cholesterol biosynthesis, which is very rare among populations in Middle and East Asia. The authors identified compound heterozygous mutations ([p.Arg352Trp] + [p.Lys376ArgfsX37]) in a Korean girl with clinical and laboratory features typical of Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome. The Lys376ArgfsX37 mutation is a ...

Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome is an autosomal recessive disease of cholesterol metabolism. It is a multiple malformation syndrome with typical dysmorphic features such as bitemporal narrowing, ptosis, epicanthus, microcephaly, micrognathia, and cardiovascular, skeletal, urogenital, and gastrointestinal anomalies. This report presents a typical case of Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome with annular pancre...

BACKGROUND Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (MIM 270400) is an autosomal recessive malformation and mental retardation syndrome that ranges in clinical severity from minimal dysmorphism and mild mental retardation to severe congenital anomalies and intrauterine death. Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome is caused by mutations in the Delta7 sterol-reductase gene (DHCR7; EC 1.3.1.21), which impair endogenous ch...
