Case Report

Expansion of Phenotype of Lanosterol Synthase-related Disease: A Case Report and Literature Review

S Ho, IFM Lo, HM Luk


Abstract

There are currently fewer than 14 reported families with members suffering from Lanosterol synthase (LSS)-related disease who presented with either cataract or hypotrichosis and non-obligatory mental retardation and/or ectodermal presentation. There is currently only one reported case with an intermediate phenotype of co-existing cataract and hypotrichosis. In this case report, we wish to illustrate a patient suffering from molecularly confirmed LSS-related disease with an intermediate phenotype. In addition, she also has ectodermal manifestations but without any intellectual disability.
