Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Carcinoma 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 |
|---|---|---|
| APCAPC regulator of Wnt signaling pathway | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| CDKN1Bcyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 1B | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| DKC1dyskerin pseudouridine synthase 1 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| NLRP1NLR family pyrin domain containing 1 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| POLEDNA polymerase epsilon, catalytic subunit | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| PTENphosphatase and tensin homolog | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| RSPO1R-spondin 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.
