Research Excerpts

Overview

Desmosterolosis is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of cholesterol biosynthesis resulting in multiple congenital abnormalities and syndromic intellectual disability. It is a direct biosynthetic precursor of cholesterol in the Bloch biochemical pathway ofolesterol biosynthesis and differs with cholesterol only by a double bond in carbon 24.
