Expression data from control and Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome patient-derived iPS cells - comparison of cholesterol deficient and cholesterol rich culture

7-dehydrocholesterol reductase catalyzes the reduction of 7-dehydrocholesterol to cholesterol. In Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome, mutations in DHCR7 prevents this conversion. We have found iPS cells derived from SLOS patients exhibit accelerated differentiation under cholesterol poor conditions.
