Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Ectopic calcification 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 |
|---|---|---|
| GNASGNAS complex locus | Very often (80–99%) | In 2 conditions |
| PI4KAphosphatidylinositol 4-kinase alpha | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| TTC7Atetratricopeptide repeat domain 7A | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| ABCC6ATP binding cassette subfamily C member 6 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| ENPP1ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 | Often (30–79%) | In 2 conditions |
| LBRlamin B receptor | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| CTNNB1catenin beta 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| LMNAlamin A/C | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| ZMPSTE24zinc metallopeptidase STE24 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| ATOH7atonal bHLH transcription factor 7 | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| FZD4frizzled class receptor 4 | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| NDPnorrin cystine knot growth factor NDP | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| SLC34A2solute carrier family 34 member 2 | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| STX16syntaxin 16 | Not recorded | 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.
