Diseases

Disease IDSourceNameDescription
312000 OMIMPanhypopituitarism X-linked (PHPX)Affected individuals have absent infundibulum, anterior pituitary hypoplasia, and ectopic posterior pituitary. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
300123 OMIMMental retardation, X-linked, with isolated growth hormone deficiency (MRXGH)A disorder characterized by the association of variable degrees of mental retardation with panhypopituitarism, variable combinations of hypothyroidism, delayed pubertal development, and short stature due to growth hormone deficiency. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
300833 OMIM46,XX sex reversal 3 (SRXX3)A condition in which male gonads develop in a genetic female (female to male sex reversal). The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Copy number variations (CNV) encompassing or in close proximity to SOX3 are responsible for XX male reversal. These variations include two duplications of approximately 123 kb and 85 kb, the former of which spans the entire SOX3 gene; a 343 kb deletion immediately upstream of SOX3 that is probably responsible of altered regulation (and not increased dosage) of SOX3; a large (approximately 6 Mb) duplication that encompasses SOX3 and at least 18 additional distally located genes. Its proximal breakpoint falls within the SOX3 regulatory region. This large rearrangement has been found in a patient with XX male reversal and a complex phenotype that also includes a scrotal hypoplasia, microcephaly, developmental delay, and growth retardation.
307700 OMIMHypoparathyroidism, X-linked (HYPX)An X-linked form of true hypoparathyroidism characterized by neonatal or infantile onset and absence of parathyroid glands. Clinical features are hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, seizures, tetany and cramps. The gene represented in this entry may be involved in disease pathogenesis. A disease causing, complex chromosomal rearrangement [del(X)(q27.1)inv ins(X;2)(q27.1;p25.3)] has been found in a family with X-linked hypoparathyroidism. This chromosomal abnormality is located 67 kb downstream of SOX3 and likely results in altered SOX3 expression with pathological consequences.
