Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome Clinical Presentation Three different groups reported the molecular genetic basis for Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome simultaneously. Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome is caused by mutations in the DHCR7 gene, the gene that codes for the enzyme DHCR7 that normally converts 7DHC to cholesterol in the final step of the cholesterol synthetic pathway.

Angelman Syndrome Symptoms & Causes Angelman syndrome is caused by a genetic mutation on chromosome 15. The name of this gene is UBE3A. Normally, people inherit one copy of the gene from each parent, and both copies become active in many areas in the body. Angelman syndrome occurs when only one copy of the gene is active in certain areas of the brain.

Caving In its most severe form, leptospirosis is also known as Weil's disease. The common mild symptoms mean most leptospirosis infections are hard to diagnose. Diagnosis is easier if the infection causes more serious problems. Read more about the symptoms of leptospirosis.t's caused by a strain of bacteria called leptospira. In 90% of cases, leptospirosis only causes mild flu-like symptoms, such as a headache, chills and muscle pain. However, in some cases the infection is more severe and can cause life-threatening problems, including organ failure and internal bleeding.

Reiterâs syndrome Infections that can lead to the complication of Reiter's syndrome include a common sexually transmitted disease called chlamydia. This is the most common cause of Reiter's syndrome.A less common cause of Reiter's syndrome is food poisoning due to Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia or Campylobacter infection.eiter s syndrome is listed as a  rare disease  by the Office of Rare Diseases (ORD) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This means that Reiter s syndrome, or a subtype of Reiter s syndrome, affects less than 200,000 people in the US population.

Causes The pituitary gland may be smaller than usual. Primary ESS can be associated with obesity and high blood pressure in women. The function of the pituitary gland is usually normal and may be an incidental finding when a brain MRI scan is done for other reasons. Secondary ESS is the result of the pituitary gland regressing within the cavity after an injury, surgery or radiation therapy. Individuals with secondary ESS may have symptoms that are due to the loss of pituitary functions, for example loss of periods, infertility, fatigue and intolerance to stress and infection.
