%X Lathosterolosis</span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span></span></span><span><span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">is a very
rare autosomal recessive cholesterol metabolism dis</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">order. The disease manifests itself with developmental and mental
delays,</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> learn</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">ing disabilities,
microcephaly, facial dysmorphism, bilateral cataracts, and skeletal defects. It
is caused by the deficiency of the enzyme ste</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">rol-C5-desaturase, </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">which is involved in cholesterol biosynthesis. This
deficiency prevents the </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">synthesis of
cholesterol, which acts as a precursor for lipid, bile acids, and steroid
hormones. Until 2020, only 7 cases had been reported. In this case</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> report, it was aimed to plan and implement the nursing care of a 2-year-old boy
di</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">agnosed with lathosterolosis with the
diagnoses of the North Americ</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">an Nursing Diagnostic Association (NANDA).
