Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Arterial dissection 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 |
|---|---|---|
| IPO8importin 8 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| SMAD2SMAD family member 2 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| SMAD3SMAD family member 3 | Very often (80–99%) | In 2 conditions |
| TGFB2transforming growth factor beta 2 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| TGFB3transforming growth factor beta 3 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| TGFBR1transforming growth factor beta receptor 1 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| TGFBR2transforming growth factor beta receptor 2 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| COL1A1collagen type I alpha 1 chain | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| COL3A1collagen type III alpha 1 chain | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| COL5A1collagen type V alpha 1 chain | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |

| C1Scomplement C1s | 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.
