Summary

This study looks at rare genetic disorders where the body can't make cholesterol properly, which can cause birth defects and learning problems. Researchers collect blood, urine, and tissue samples from affected people and their families to learn more about these conditions. The goal is to better understand the diseases, not to test a new treatment.
