Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Attached earlobe 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 |
|---|---|---|
| NSD2nuclear receptor binding SET domain protein 2 | Always | In 1 condition |
| CDH11cadherin 11 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| HIVEP2HIVEP zinc finger 2 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| RDH11retinol dehydrogenase 11 | Often (30–79%) | In 2 conditions |
| RECQLRecQ like helicase | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| SMG9SMG9 nonsense mediated mRNA decay factor | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| HS2ST1heparan sulfate 2-O-sulfotransferase 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | 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.
