ABSTRACT
Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome is an autosomal recessively inherited disorder. A severe defect in cholesterol biosynthesis has been identified leading to abnormally low plasma cholesterol levels and elevated levels of the cholesterol precursor 7-dehydrocholesterol, the result of deficiency of 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase. We describe one such child with Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome. This child had clinical features similar to Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome like facial dysmorphism and cardiac and renal anomalies with failure to thrive.
