Overview

Desmosterolosis is rare disorder characterized by multiple congenital anomalies and elevated levels of the desmosterol in plasma, tissue, and cultured cells.

Pathophysiology

Genetics

It is a rare autosomal recessive disorder.
It has been associated with 24-dehydrocholesterol reductase.^[1]
It results in an accumulation of desmosterol.^[2]
