Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Wide digital bones 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 |
|---|---|---|
| PRKG2protein kinase cGMP-dependent 2 | Always | In 1 condition |
| RAB33BRAB33B, member RAS oncogene family | Always | In 1 condition |
| PDE4Dphosphodiesterase 4D | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| SLC26A2solute carrier family 26 member 2 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| PUF60poly(U) binding splicing factor 60 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| BGNbiglycan | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| DDR2discoidin domain receptor tyrosine kinase 2 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| DNMT3ADNA methyltransferase 3 alpha | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| FGFR1fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| NPR2natriuretic peptide receptor 2 | 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.
