Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is an autosomal recessive disorder of cholesterol biosynthesis caused by mutations in the DHCR7 gene. Previous studies estimated the prevalence of SLOS between 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 70,358 based on case frequency surveys. Although panethnic, SLOS appears to be most frequent in Central European populations (Czech Republic 1 in 10,000, Slovakia 1 in 15,000 - 1 in 20,000). In Polish...
