Abstract excerpt
The Conradi-Hünermann-Happle syndrome is an X-linked dominant disease that is due to mutations in the gene for emopamil binding protein. Emopamil binding protein is a Delta8-Delta7 sterol isomerase and plays a pivotal role in the final steps of cholesterol biosynthesis. We wanted to know to what extent this X-linked dominant enzyme defect has functional consequences at the biochemical level and whether it is...
