At least three findings should be present for Fryns syndrome but in the present case all six criteria were present. [scielo.cl]
In 1971, Lowry et al. 8 described a fourth family with CLS, and Coffin and Siris 5 presented a fifth large family. [docslib.org]
The severity of the clinical presentation and mortality of SLOS correlates well with the extent of the cholesterol deficiency. [30] Secondary deficiencies of steroid hormones may be present in most patients with severe disease. [23] In any child or adult [cmaj.ca]

Treatment The goal of treatment is to provide enough dietary cholesterol to return the plasma cholesterol level to normal. The usual starting dose is 40-50 mg/kg daily, with increases based on somatic growth requirements. [cmaj.ca]
Prognosis
(Outcomes/Resolutions) The prognosis of Die-Smulders-Vles Fryns Syndrome is dependent upon the severity of the signs and symptoms and associated complications, if any Individuals with mild conditions have better prognosis than those with severe symptoms [dovemed.com]

Epidemiology
Cholestatic liver disease in a number of patients with severe SLOS has been reported, and it can occur as part of the initial presentation in neonates. [21] Genetics and epidemiology SLOS is an autosomal recessive disease, which implies that both parents [cmaj.ca]
Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology Unknown. Diagnosis Symptoms of the syndrome are apparent at birth. Diagnosis is based on physical signs of arachnodactyly and the characteristic facies associated with mental retardation. [accesspediatrics.mhmedical.com]
