What is SETD5 -related syndrome?

SETD5 -related syndrome happens when there are changes to the SETD5 gene. These changes can keep the gene from working as it should.

Key Role

The SETD5 gene plays a key role in controlling other genes.

Symptoms

Many people who have SETD5 -related syndrome have:

Intellectual disability
Language delay
Differences in facial features

Support Resources

Simons Searchlight Community – SETD5 Facebook group
Unique – SETD5 Guidebook

GeneReviews

GeneReviews are a great resource to bring to your child’s clinicians. These publications provide a summary of current research on genetic conditions and information on ongoing care.

There is currently no GeneReviews for SETD5 .

Research Article Summaries

Below, we have summarized research articles about changes in the SETD5 gene. We hope you find this information helpful.

The information available about SETD5 is limited, and families and doctors share a critical need for more information. As we learn more from children who have a change in this gene, we expect this list of resources and information to grow.

Full versions of published research articles can be found on PubMed. PubMed is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) online database that is free. It has a collection of both medical and scientific research articles. A PubMed search for SETD5 articles can be found here.

You can also visit the Simons Foundation’s SFARI Gene website to see information for researchers about this gene.
