Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Ear pain 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 |
|---|---|---|
| KRT16keratin 16 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| KRT17keratin 17 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| KRT6Akeratin 6A | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| KRT6Bkeratin 6B | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| AKT1AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| BAP1BRCA1 associated deubiquitinase 1 | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| NF2NF2, moesin-ezrin-radixin like (MERLIN) tumor suppressor | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| PDGFBplatelet derived growth factor subunit B | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| PIK3CAphosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| SMARCB1SWI/SNF related BAF chromatin remodeling complex subunit B1 | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| SMARCE1SWI/SNF related BAF chromatin remodeling complex subunit E1 | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| SMOsmoothened, frizzled class receptor | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |

| TRAF7TNF receptor associated factor 7 | 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.
