Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Impaired use of nonverbal behaviors 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 |
|---|---|---|
| BORCS8BLOC-1 related complex subunit 8 | Always | In 1 condition |
| MFFmitochondrial fission factor | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| MECP2methyl-CpG binding protein 2 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| NLGN3neuroligin 3 | Not recorded | In 2 conditions |
| NLGN4Xneuroligin 4 X-linked | Not recorded | In 2 conditions |
| SNRPNsmall nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptide N | 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.
