Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Compensatory chin elevation 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 |
|---|---|---|
| AHRaryl hydrocarbon receptor | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| COL25A1collagen type XXV alpha 1 chain | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| KIF21Akinesin family member 21A | Often (30–79%) | In 2 conditions |
| PHOX2Apaired like homeobox 2A | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| TUBA1Atubulin alpha 1a | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| TUBB2Btubulin beta 2B class IIb | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| TUBB3tubulin beta 3 class III | Often (30–79%) | In 2 conditions |
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.
