Trait
Crypt hyperplasia
Crypt hyperplasia denotes elongation of the length of the crypts of Lieberkuhn, a process that initially precedes villous atrophy. Elongation may be caused by expansion of the lamina propria as a result of the proliferation of stromal cells, an influx of inflammatory cells and tissue remodeling.

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Crypt hyperplasia 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 |
|---|---|---|
| EPCAMepithelial cell adhesion molecule | Always | 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.
