TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
constitutional   deletion    
in a male patient with hemophilia and mental retardation (and testicular failure)
constitutional     --low  
or overexpressed in anterior pituitary hypoplasia (APH), absent infundibulum, and an ectopic/undescended posterior pituitary with or without mental retardation
constitutional germinal mutation      
in MRXS15
constitutional   amplification    
a case of XX male sex reversal associated with a novel de novo duplication of the SOX3 gene
tumoral     --low  
inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of osteosarcoma cells
constitutional   amplification    
SOX3 duplication in lumbosacral spina bifida
constitutional     --over  
promoter of the human SOX3 gene is extremely hypomethylated both in undifferentiated NT2/D1 cells and during the early phases of RA-induced neural differentiation
tumoral       loss of function
promoted gastric cancer cell invasion and migration
Susceptibility to neural tube defects
