Abstract Objective: To describe a group of children with co-incident pulmonary vein stenosis and SmithLemli-Opitz syndrome and to generate hypotheses as to the shared pathogenesis of these
disorders.
Design: Retrospective case series.
Patients: Five subjects in a pulmonary vein stenosis cohort of 170 subjects were diagnosed with
Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome soon after birth.
Results: All five cases were diagnosed with Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome within 6 weeks of life,
with no family history of either disorder. All cases had pathologically elevated
7-dehydrocholesterol levels and two of the five cases had previously reported pathogenic
7-dehydrocholesterol reductase mutations. Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome severity scores ranged
from mild to… More >
