Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Chronic cough 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 |
|---|---|---|
| CFAP74cilia and flagella associated protein 74 | Always | In 1 condition |
| FLT3LGfms related receptor tyrosine kinase 3 ligand | Always | In 1 condition |
| RELBRELB proto-oncogene, NF-kB subunit | Always | In 1 condition |
| AGR2anterior gradient 2, protein disulphide isomerase family member | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| DAW1dynein assembly factor with WD repeats 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| DNAAF4dynein axonemal assembly factor 4 | Sometimes (5–29%) | 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.
