Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Broad nail 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.

|---|---|---|
| IFT43intraflagellar transport 43 | Always | In 1 condition |
| IHHIndian hedgehog signaling molecule | Always | In 2 conditions |
| CLEC7AC-type lectin domain containing 7A | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| IL17Finterleukin 17F | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| IL17RAinterleukin 17 receptor A | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |

| FHL1four and a half LIM domains 1 | 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.
