Description

Patients have been reported with a repeat mutation in SOX3, caused by overexpression, downstream decrease in protein levels, and dysregulation. 5 total patients across 2 papers and a mouse model. SOX3 has previously been curated by the ClinGen Syndromic Disorders GCEP (08/02/2023) for SOX3-related X-linked pituitary hormone deficiency with or without intellectual developmental disorder.
