Associations of SOX3 with chemical compounds

  • The mutation results in an in-frame duplication of 33 bp encoding for 11 alanines in a polyalanine tract of the SOX3 gene [2].
 

Other interactions of SOX3

  • Next, we identified a novel seven-alanine expansion within a polyalanine tract in SOX3 in a family with panhypopituitarism in three male siblings with an absent infundibulum, severe APH, and EPP [1].
  • SOX3 is an X-linked gene related to SRY [3].
  • Perhaps the most interesting candidate for involvement in sexual development is SOX3, which belongs to the same family of proteins (SOX) as SRY and SOX9, both of which are involved in testis differentiation [11].
  • Evaluation of candidate genes CDR1 and SOX3 did not reveal mutations in affected male subjects [12].
  • We observed similar aggregates for expansion mutations in SOX3, RUNX2 and HOXA13, pointing to a common mechanism [13].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of SOX3

  • Indeed, SOX3 expression was demonstrated, by in situ hybridization, in the developing parathyroid tissue of mouse embryos between 10.5 and 15.5 days post coitum [5].
  • Therefore, we screened the coding region and the 5' and 3' flanking region of the SOX3 gene for mutations by means of single-stranded conformation polymorphism and heteroduplex analysis in eight subjects with 46, XX sex reversal (SRY negative) and 25 subjects with 46, XY gonadal dysgenesis [11].
  • With PRINS, we physically localized the SRY gene to Yp11.31p11.32 and the SOX3 gene to Xq26q27 [14].
  • Comparative gene mapping and sequencing shows that SRY arose quite recently as a degraded version of the SOX3 gene on the X chromosome [15].
  • Sox3-null mice developed according to genetic sex, but the hemizygous null males were hypogonadal, with extensive Sertoli cell vacuo-lization, loss of germ cells, and reduced sperm count [4].
