Abstract |
Photosensitivity has been briefly mentioned in several publications on the Smith-Lemli-Opitz (SLO) syndrome, an autosomal recessive mental retardation syndrome. We conducted a questionnaire-based survey to determine the incidence and main features of photosensitivity in SLO. We confirmed a high incidence, and initial evidence suggests that SLO may be the first example of an inherited photosensitivity disorder in which sensitivity to UVA is common.
