Celebrating Cliona’s birth inspired her family to establish an endowed fund to provide support for SLOS families through the Foundation.
The book “I Want to Survive” tells the journey of a family as they raise a child with a rare genetic disorder called Smith-Lemli-Opitz.
With deep sadness, the Smith-Lemli-Opitz Foundation announces the passing of Dr. John Marius Opitz, who co-discovered SLOS.
Happy Rare Disease Day! The Beyond the Diagnosis exhibit at the EVERSANA National Meeting featured one of our own.
