Difference between 7-Dehydrocholesterol and Smith–Lemli–Opitz syndrome

7-Dehydrocholesterol vs. Smith–Lemli–Opitz syndrome

7-Dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC) is a zoosterol that functions in the serum as a cholesterol precursor, and is converted to vitamin D3 in the skin, therefore functioning as provitamin-D3. Smith–Lemli–Opitz syndrome (also SLOS, or 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase deficiency) is an inborn error of cholesterol synthesis.
