Abstract excerpt
Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is an autosomal recessive disorder of cholesterol biosynthesis caused by mutations of the 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase gene (DHCR7). We report on three cousins with SLOS, all of whom were found to be compound heterozygotes for the common splice site mutation IV...
