We report on an infant girl with severe RSH or Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome with hyperbilirubinemia. The infant died at age 2 months. Sterol analysis of liver and brain tissues showed marked elevations of 7-dehydrocholesterol with decreased levels of cholesterol. Immunocytochemical analysis demonstrated remarkable increases in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors in these tissues, indicative of a deficiency in available cholesterol for tissue needs.
我们报告了一名患有严重的RSH或史密斯-利姆利-奥皮茨综合征并伴有高胆红素血症的女婴。该婴儿在2个月大时死亡。对肝脏和脑组织的甾醇分析显示7-脱氢胆固醇显著升高,而胆固醇水平降低。免疫细胞化学分析表明这些组织中低密度脂蛋白(LDL)受体显著增加,这表明组织所需的可用胆固醇存在缺乏。
