Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Abnormal eating behavior 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 |
|---|---|---|
| LEPRleptin receptor | Always | In 1 condition |
| DPYDdihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| LARP7La ribonucleoprotein 7, transcriptional regulator | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| MYT1Lmyelin transcription factor 1 like | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| OCA2OCA2 melanosomal transmembrane protein | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| SLC25A13solute carrier family 25 member 13 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| SYNGAP1synaptic Ras GTPase activating protein 1 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| TRANK1tetratricopeptide repeat and ankyrin repeat containing 1 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| UBE3Aubiquitin protein ligase E3A | Often (30–79%) | In 2 conditions |
| NKX2-1NK2 homeobox 1 | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| PCDH19protocadherin 19 | Rarely (1–4%) | 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.
