Recessive genetic condition
Medical condition
Lathosterolosis is an inborn error of cholesterol biosynthesis caused by a deficiency of the enzyme 3-beta-hydroxysteroid-delta-5-desaturase . This leads to a flaw in the conversion of lathosterol to 7-dehydrocholesterol . Characteristics include facial dysmorphism , congenital malformations , failure to thrive , developmental delay , and liver illness .[ 2] Brunetti-Pierri et al. originally described Lathosterolosis in 2002.[ 3] [ 4] [ 5] [ 6]
