Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is a severe disorder of cholesterol synthesis classically diagnosed prenatally by GC-MS analysis of sterols in amniotic fluid. In recognition of the current move towards tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) methodologies we present prototype LC-MS/MS methods for the accurate diagnosis of the disorder 3β-Hydroxysterols in amniotic fluid are oxidised with cholesterol oxidase to their corresponding 3-ketones, which are then derivatised with Girard P (GP) hydrazine in a “one-pot” reaction. The resulting GP-hydrazones give an improved response in electrospray (ES)-MS/MS due to the presence of a charged quaternary nitrogen and are analysed by reversed-phase LC-ES-MS/MS. Both capillary LC-MS/MS and conventional LC-MS/MS formats are suitable, and the method is also applicable to paper absorbed blood spots. In a double blind analysis of 18 amniotic fluid samples comprising 6 SLOS and 12 controls, the 7+8-dehydrocholesterol (7+8-DHC) to cholesterol ratio was found to lie below 0.02 (range, 0.00 - 0.02: mean ± SD, 0.01 ± 0.007) in all control samples (intra assay variation 5.91%), and above 0.20 (range, 0.20 - 1.13: mean ± SD, 0.79 ± 0.35) in SLOS (intra assay variation 4.56%), corresponding to a difference in ratios between the two groups of a factor of at least 10. The limit of quantification was equivalent to 2 nL of amniotic fluid injected on-column. Here we describe a “proof-of-concept” study for the prenatal diagnosis of SLOS. However, further developments will be necessary to automate sample handling and reduce chromatographic time in order to allow the methodology to be used for pre- and postnatal diagnosis.
