Abstract excerpt
We analyzed seven unrelated children with the Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) for mutations in the delta7-sterol reductase gene by using SSCP and direct sequencing. We identified two novel mutations (V330M and R363C) in the DHCR7 gene. Reported mutations found in this study were T93M (3/14 alleles), E448K (2/14), and W151X, G244R, P329L, and R446Q (each found in one allele). The so-called common IVS8-1 G --> C...
