Abnormal cholesterol metabolism in the Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome: report of clinical and biochemical findings in four patients and treatment in one patient.

We report on four patients with the Smith-Lemli-Opitz (SLO) syndrome who appear to have a defect in cholesterol biosynthesis. The initial results of therapy of one of the patients with cholesterol and bile acids to correct her metabolic abnormalities are described. This finding provides a biochemical marker to help in the diagnosis of this syndrome, may provide insight into the pathogenesis of this disorder, and have therapeutic and prenatal diagnostic implications as well.
