 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

[edit]Diagnosis
[edit]A diagnosis may only be determined by a genetic test. The full exome sequencing test is used to determine the partial deletion, deletion,or mutation to the SOX5 gene. The diagnosis may be suspected on the basis of the constellation of clinical features. It is made by sequencing the SOX5 gene responsible for the cells that facilitate information transferring in the brain. Symptoms of Lamb-Shaffer syndrome include fine and gross motor delays, speech delay, global developmental delay,hypotonia and issues with vision, commonly misdiagnosed for autism.

Instructor feedback:
I would suggest first that you bring over additional components of the existing article so it is very clear how your proposed edits fit within the existing article. Additionally, I would recommend you reorder your edits. First a diagnosis is suspected based on clinical features and this is later confirmed with genetic testing. I would first describe the clinical features and then detail out the symptoms. Hypotonia is misspelled above. I would encourage you to review the assignment rubric as this may help you understand what I am looking for on the final assignment. You will be required to include several examples of peer-reviewed secondary literature (e.g., review paper) and right now you only have a website.
