Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase (), which is rarely observed in Japan. We report a Japanese case with 46,XY disorder of sex development and Y-shaped 2-3 toe syndactyly. DHCR7 gene analysis revealed compound heterozygous mutations including the novel mutation H442R. Early diagnosis led to starting cholesterol treatment at an early age.
史密斯-勒米-奥皮茨综合征是一种由7-脱氢胆固醇还原酶基因突变引起的常染色体隐性疾病,在日本很少见。我们报告了一例患有46,XY性发育障碍和Y形2-3趾并指畸形的日本病例。DHCR7基因分析显示存在复合杂合突变,包括新发现的H442R突变。早期诊断使得能够在患者幼年时就开始进行胆固醇治疗。
