Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome: the changing phenotype with age

Genet Couns. 1992;3(2):77-82.

Abstract

In this report we present follow up data of two brothers with Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome. The changes with ageing are striking and few of the typical SLO traits are still present, which makes it extremely difficult to make the diagnosis Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome at adult age.
