Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Asterixis 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 |
|---|---|---|
| SLC25A13solute carrier family 25 member 13 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| ABCB11ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 11 | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| ABCB4ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 4 | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| ATP8B1ATPase phospholipid transporting 8B1 | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| NR1H4nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group H member 4 | 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.
