Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Abnormal posturing 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 |
|---|---|---|
| TIMM8Atranslocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 8A | Always | In 1 condition |
| PANK2pantothenate kinase 2 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| PRNPprion protein (Kanno blood group) | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| ABCD4ATP binding cassette subfamily D member 4 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| AOPEPaminopeptidase O (putative) | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| EPG5ectopic P-granules 5 autophagy tethering factor | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| TOR1Atorsin family 1 member A | 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.
