1 Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS), an autosomal recessive condition with multiple malformations, mental retardation, and growth failure, results from markedly reduced activity of the final enzyme in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway, 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase (DHCR7). Cholesterol 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase Homo sapiens
2 Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS), an autosomal recessive condition with multiple malformations, mental retardation, and growth failure, results from markedly reduced activity of the final enzyme in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway, 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase (DHCR7). Cholesterol 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase Homo sapiens
3 The biochemical defect in SLOS is a deficiency of DHCR7, which results in an abnormally low cholesterol level, and increased amounts of intermediates of sterol biosynthesis. Cholesterol 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase Homo sapiens
