Growth charts for individuals with Smith–Lemli–Opitz syndrome

Abstract: Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is a rare multiple congenital anomaly neurodevelopmental syndrome of impaired cholesterol synthesis. Growth restriction and developmental delay are very common clinical manifestations of SLOS. The degree, etiology, and consequences of growth restriction in SLOS remain an area of limited knowledge to the scientific community. There have been no studies describing the growth parameters and providing reference growth charts for individuals with SLOS. Our longitudinal data from 78… Show more

“…Weight gain in the normally developed new-born was 20% (from 4 to 7.5 kg), while the weight gain in the SLOS patient was about 10% (from 3.4 to 4.7 kg) ( Table 1). Moreover, the weight gain and growth values were similar to those reported by Lee et al 24 Individuals with this disease are usually found to be below normal developmental stages. 1,2,20,24 Therefore, the development of our patient was below the 3rd percentile.…”

“…Moreover, the weight gain and growth values were similar to those reported by Lee et al 24 Individuals with this disease are usually found to be below normal developmental stages. 1,2,20,24 Therefore, the development of our patient was below the 3rd percentile. The increase rate of the maxillary width was greater than the normal patient because an expansion appliance was used.…”

“…Abnormal gastrointestinal mobility manifesting with recurrent vomiting and reflux, in combination with very selective food intake due to oral sensitivity, with avoidance of specific tastes and textures, likely contributes to poor growth [28]. Specific growth charts have been developed, and individuals should be plotted on these in addition to the regular World Health Organization/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention standardized pediatric growth charts [29]. Constipation can become a severe problem further exacerbating abdominal symptoms.…”

“…Management includes regular physical examinations with special attention paid to growth parameters such as weight, height and head circumference, which ideally should be plotted on SLOS specific charts in addition to standard CDC or WHO charts [29]. In phenotypically female patients with manifestations of a severe phenotype, a karyotype to exclude sex reversal is recommended, and if necessary, subsequent removal of intraabdominal testes.…”

“…A betegség súlyosságától függően a testmagasság, testsúly és a fejkörfogat változó mértékben csökkentek a normáltarto-mányhoz viszonyítva [19,28]. Az SLO-szindrómában alkalmazható percentilgörbék már elérhetőek a klinikusok számára [32].…”
