Gene: [07q321/SLOS] Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome, type 2?;

PAT

[1] Children with the Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome, a frequent inborn disorder of sterol metabolism, have elevated serum levels and low serum cholesterol levels. So delta-7-sterol reductase is suspected to be defective in this syndrome (Shefer-1995; see GEM:11q13/DHCR7).
[2] Another locus associated with Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome was found: GEM:11q13/DHCR7."
