Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Choking episodes 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 |
|---|---|---|
| DNM1dynamin 1 | Always | In 1 condition |
| INPP4Ainositol polyphosphate-4-phosphatase type I A | Always | In 1 condition |
| MAN2B2mannosidase alpha class 2B member 2 | Always | In 1 condition |
| RNU2-2RNA, U2 small nuclear 2 | Always | In 1 condition |
| CACNA1Acalcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 A | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| HTThuntingtin | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| SLC2A3solute carrier family 2 member 3 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| ZNF699zinc finger protein 699 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| PLA2G6phospholipase A2 group VI | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| SCN4Asodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 4 | Rarely (1–4%) | 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.
