Get my Genome Test13 genes linked to Alopecia totalis
Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Alopecia totalis 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 |
|---|---|---|
| ALX4ALX homeobox 4 | Always | In 1 condition |
| DSPdesmoplakin | Always | In 1 condition |
| RIPK4receptor interacting serine/threonine kinase 4 | Always | In 2 conditions |
| UQCRFS1ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase, Rieske iron-sulfur polypeptide 1 | Always | In 1 condition |
| LSSlanosterol synthase | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| LMNAlamin A/C | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| NFKB2nuclear factor kappa B subunit 2 | Often (30–79%) | In 2 conditions |
| ZMPSTE24zinc metallopeptidase STE24 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| ANAPC1anaphase promoting complex subunit 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| RECQL4RecQ like helicase 4 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| SPINK5serine peptidase inhibitor Kazal type 5 | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| GJB6gap junction protein beta 6 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| MBTPS2membrane bound transcription factor peptidase, site 2 | 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.
