Condition

Lamb-Shaffer Syndrome

Assembled from catalogue records November 5, 2026

Lamb-Shaffer Syndrome, as genome-wide studies have reported it: 29 positions from 1 study. Built from the GWAS Catalog's records and rebuilt when a new position is reported; the figures are the studies'.

What this condition connects to

Prevalence
The records give study sizes, not how common Lamb-Shaffer Syndrome is, so this page gives no figure for it.
Inheritance
Polygenic in the records: 29 positions at genome-wide significance across 1 study, each common variant of small effect. Nothing here says how much of the condition is inherited.

Lamb-Shaffer Syndrome — filed in the GWAS Catalog as "Lamb-Shaffer syndrome" — is a condition this catalogue follows as its positions arrive. This page is assembled by MyGeneLog's own code from the catalogue's records and the studies' own listings: 29 positions from 1 study, and no sentence written by hand. It is rebuilt as new positions are reported, so what it says is what the records say today.

Where the positions come from

A study. The 29 positions on this page from it: rs1135401816 (SOX5), rs1555141265 (SOX5), rs1555307370 (SOX5), rs1565669640 (SOX5), rs1591833159 (SOX5), rs1591833497 (SOX5), rs1591833522 (SOX5), rs1591833842 (SOX5), and 21 more.

The positions

The 29 positions sit in or beside 1 gene: SOX5. These are locations, as the catalogue records them; whether any of these genes is how a position acts is a question the records leave open.

What this page is, and is not

It is a record of what genome-wide studies have reported about Lamb-Shaffer Syndrome, kept current by code. It is not a description of the condition, an estimate of how common it is, or guidance of any kind — a page that took those from association records would be inventing them. Each variant page linked here carries that study's own record for the position in fixed sentences, and ClinVar's record where one exists.

Clinical detail

What is actually diagnosed and treated here

Lamb-Shaffer Syndrome is diagnosed by a clinician — not from a genotype. None of the 29 variants on this page is used by any guideline to predict, screen for or diagnose it.

This page was assembled by code from association records. It holds no clinical guidance, because its sources hold none: a genome-wide study reports which positions differ between people with a condition and people without, at the population level, and that is all this page repeats. A question about a symptom, a test or a treatment belongs with a clinician.

Questions about Lamb-Shaffer Syndrome

What is Lamb-Shaffer Syndrome?

Lamb-Shaffer Syndrome is the condition the GWAS Catalog files under "Lamb-Shaffer syndrome". This page does not define it in its own words; it lists what genome-wide studies have reported: 29 positions from 1 study, with each study's sample and citation.

Is Lamb-Shaffer Syndrome genetic?

Genome-wide studies have reported 29 associated positions. Each common variant has a small effect, and an association in a population is not a cause in any one person.

Which genes are linked to Lamb-Shaffer Syndrome on this page?

The catalogue maps the positions to 1 gene: SOX5. These are where the positions sit, not proof of how they act.

Can these variants predict whether I will get Lamb-Shaffer Syndrome?

No. They are population-level findings of small effect. Lamb-Shaffer Syndrome is diagnosed by a clinician, and no guideline uses a genotype to predict it.
