Trait
Abnormal eye contact
Any abnormality of eye contact behavior. We define eye contact as a form of nonverbal communication between two individuals who are facing each other in which an individual directs the eyes towards the eyes or face of the other individual. Eye contact occurs frequently and voluntarily during face-to-face verbal communication. The duration and frequency of eye contact that is interpreted to be appropriate may follow social and situational norms.

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Abnormal eye contact 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 |
|---|---|---|
| ITPR1inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 1 | Always | 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.
