Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Painful menstruation 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 |
|---|---|---|
| CYB5Acytochrome b5 type A | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| CYP17A1cytochrome P450 family 17 subfamily A member 1 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| AIPAHR interacting HSP90 co-chaperone | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| GPR101G protein-coupled receptor 101 | Often (30–79%) | 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.
