Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Band keratopathy 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 |
|---|---|---|
| SLC4A4solute carrier family 4 member 4 | Always | In 1 condition |
| COL18A1collagen type XVIII alpha 1 chain | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| VSX1visual system homeobox 1 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| ANKRD55ankyrin repeat domain 55 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| CD247CD247 molecule | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |

| IL2RAinterleukin 2 receptor subunit alpha | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| IL2RBinterleukin 2 receptor subunit beta | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| PTPN2protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 2 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| PTPN22protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 | 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.
