Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Placental issue 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 |
|---|---|---|
| CORINcorin, serine peptidase | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| FLT1fms related receptor tyrosine kinase 1 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| STOX1storkhead box 1 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| GLB1galactosidase beta 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| HYMAIhydatidiform mole associated and imprinted | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| PLAGL1PLAG1 like zinc finger 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| SPTBN1spectrin beta, non-erythrocytic 1 | 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.
