Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Abnormal wrist bones is seen. Most people with this trait have none of those conditions, and a gene on this list says nothing about anyone's own genome.
| Gene | How often it is seen | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| NINninein | Always | In 2 conditions |
| COL2A1collagen type II alpha 1 chain | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| SHOXSHOX homeobox | Very often (80–99%) | In 3 conditions |
| TBX5T-box transcription factor 5 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| RECQL4RecQ like helicase 4 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| EXT1exostosin glycosyltransferase 1 | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| EXT2exostosin glycosyltransferase 2 | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| ESCO2establishment of sister chromatid cohesion N-acetyltransferase 2 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
How often is among people with one of the gene's conditions, the most often across them, as the Human Phenotype Ontology records it. These pages describe traits and the research behind them; they are not a diagnosis, and a doctor or genetic counsellor is the person to ask about symptoms.
