Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Abscess 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 |
|---|---|---|
| CYBC1cytochrome b-245 chaperone 1 | Always | In 1 condition |
| IL1RNinterleukin 1 receptor antagonist | Always | In 1 condition |
| LCKLCK proto-oncogene, Src family tyrosine kinase | Always | In 1 condition |
| LCP2lymphocyte cytosolic protein 2 | Always | In 1 condition |
| OTULINOTU deubiquitinase with linear linkage specificity | Always | In 1 condition |
| MYD88MYD88 innate immune signal transduction adaptor | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| NTRK1neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase 1 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| PGM3phosphoglucomutase 3 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| BLMBLM RecQ like helicase | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| WDR1WD repeat domain 1 | 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.
