Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is an autosomal recessive malformation syndrome characterized by a disorder in cholesterol metabolism. SLOS is caused by mutations in the DHCR7 gene which encodes 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase, an enzyme that catalyses the final step in cholesterol biosynthesis. We have previously established the clinical and photobiological features of the photosensitivity that is...
