Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is an inborn error of cholesterol biosynthesis, caused by biallelic mutations in the DHCR7 gene. Genotype-phenotype correlations regarding DHCR7 variants could explain the variation in severity, ranging from in utero demise or severe SLOS to a mild phenotype. Clinical recognition can be challenging. This study aimed to determine the frequency of SLOS carriers in the...
