La fisiopatología de Smith-Lemli-Opitz (SLOS) es un trastorno genético raro que afecta a múltiples sistemas del cuerpo humano. Descrito por primera vez en 1964 por los médicos John M. Smith, Angelo M. Lemli y Edward B. Opitz, este síndrome se caracteriza por una serie de malformaciones congénitas, retraso del crecimiento y discapacidades intelectuales.

This is the most crucial pathophysiological mechanism in SLOS. The Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) pathway is essential for embryonic patterning, including:
At the molecular level, SLOS is caused by pathogenic variants in the DHCR7 gene located on chromosome 11q13.4. This gene encodes the enzyme (also known as 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase). This enzyme catalyzes the final step of cholesterol biosynthesis: the reduction of the double bond at the C7-C8 position of 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC) to produce cholesterol.
