Abstract: In 1993 it was first suggested that the Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS), described almost 30 years earlier as a malformation syndrome, is caused by defective synthesis of cholesterol. Hypocholesterolaemia and accumulation of the immediate precursor 7dehydrocholesterol was consistent with deficient activity of the enzyme in the last step of the synthesis, 7-dehydrocholesterol-7-reductase. The discovery raised hopes of developing diagnostic methods, finding strategies for treatment and increasing our understanding of the pathogenetic mechanisms. The aims of the present study were to identify children with SLOS in Sweden, to initiate and evaluate different treatments and to study the connection between the clinical presentation, biochemical parameters and the basal defect.

*For Medical Professionals only, registration required Smith – lemli – opitz syndrome, (David W. Smith, 20th century, American paediatrician; Luc Lemli, 20th century, American paediatrician; John M. Opitz, 20th century, American paediatrician), syndrome with autosomal recessive inheritance in which children present with multiple congenital abnormalities in association with low birth weight and mental retardation. There is failure to thrive and progressive spasticity in childhood. Urogenital abnormalities with ambiguous genitalia may occur. Two forms are described: type I, which presents in childhood and type II, in which there may be intrauterine growth retardation. Radiological manifestations are microcephaly, which may be associated with multiple other brain malformations, soft tissue syndactyly of the toes and nonspecific urinary tract abnormalities.

Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome Described by Smith in 1964, this syndrome includes microcephaly, growth and mental retardation, unusual facial appearance, syndactyly of toes 2 and 3, and genital abnormalities. Multiple major structural abnormalities are the exception in SLOS patients surviving infancy. Facial anomalies include ptosis, micrognathia and anteverted nares. Genital abnormalities occur in males, and include hypospadias, cleft scrotum and cryptorchidism. Developmental defects are generally associated with severe mental retardation, although borderline normal intelligence has been reported. A more severe phenotype, SLOS type II, was recognised in 1987. Infants have multiple major structural abnormalities and male pseudohermaphroditism; most die in the neonatal period. Both phenotypes seem to be inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, and are now thought to reflect different mutations within the same (as yet unidentified) gene. It is more commonly diagnosed in males because genital ambiguity is more obvious. Cholesterol levels are very low.

CMAJ Contents Abstract Contents Smith SLOS is caused by a defect in cholesterol synthesis and presents with characteristic dysmorphic facial features, mental retardation, multiple congenital anomalies and failure to thrive. It was first described in 1964 and, until recently, was of limited clinical interest to primary care physicians because no diagnostic test or treatment was available. In 1994 the discovery of the underlying defect that affects cholesterol synthesis led to the development of a biochemical diagnostic test for SLOS. Despite the exciting research developments, we believe that this relatively common genetic disease remains unknown to primary care physicians. Because dietary therapy with cholesterol supplementation has been shown to have a considerable positive impact on the clinical course of this disease, increased physician awareness is needed to ensure that patients and their families receive appropriate diagnosis, treatment and genetic counselling. Contents Clinical features SLOS is characterized by dysmorphic facial features, microcephaly, growth retardation, multiple internal anomalies, cutaneous syndactyly of the second and third toes, and genital malformations.

Medline Citation ABSTRACT Background The Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (frequency, 1:20,000 to 1:40,000) is defined by a constellation of severe birth defects affecting most organ systems. Abnormalities frequently include profound mental retardation, severe failure to thrive, and a high infant-mortality rate. The syndrome has heretofore been diagnosed only from its clinical presentation. Methods Using capillary-column gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, we measured the sterol composition of plasma, erythrocytes, lens, cultured fibroblasts, and feces from five children with the syndrome (three girls and two boys).

Our lab focuses on the most common such syndrome, Smith Lemli Opitz (SLOS) . SLOS is a genetic syndrome associated with mental retardation and birth defects. It is caused by a defect in the final step in cholesterol synthesis. Affected individuals have low cholesterol levels and elevated levels of cholesterol precursors. SLOS is a natural model of cholesterol synthetic defects, and understanding this condition at the biochemical and molecular level will advance our knowledge of cholesterol metabolism in general. We are also pursuing basic in vitro studies. With our collaborators at the NIH, we (and two other groups simultaneously) identified mutations in the 7-dehydrocholesterol )-7 reductase gene as the cause of SLOS. We are identifying mutations in the gene in patients. These studies will allow determination of genotype/phenotype correlations in SLOS.

    Summary:
    Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome (SLOS) is a genetic disorder (autosomal recessive) caused by an abnormality in the production of cholesterol. The disorder can occur in both a "mild" or "severe" form. SLOS is associated with multiple birth defects and mental retardation. Some of the birth defects include; abnormal facial features, poor muscle tone, poor growth, shortened life span, and abnormalities of the heart, lungs, brain, gastrointestinal tract, limbs, genitalia, and kidneys. There is no known cure for SLOS but recently patients have been treated with increased amounts of cholesterol in their diet. The cholesterol in a persons diet is unable to correct the abnormalities in the patient's organs, but researchers hope it will improve growth failure and mental retardation. This study was developed to answer questions about the causes and complications of SLOS, as well as the effectiveness of cholesterol treatment. The study will enroll patients diagnosed with SLOS, and their mothers. The objectives of the study will be to address the following questions: 1. What is the prognosis / natural history of the demyelination in the nervous system of patients with SLOS?
