Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Cervical insufficiency 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 |
|---|---|---|
| COL1A1collagen type I alpha 1 chain | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| COL5A1collagen type V alpha 1 chain | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| COL5A2collagen type V alpha 2 chain | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| PRDM5PR/SET domain 5 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| ZNF469zinc finger protein 469 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| COL3A1collagen type III alpha 1 chain | 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.
