Trait
Ectopic ureteral orifice
Drainage of the ureter on one or both sides into an abnormal location. Normally the ureter drains via the internal ureteral orifice at the trigone of the urinary bladder. Ectopic ureteral orifice can be either intravesical (bladder neck) or, more often, extravesical. Ectopia in women is more frequently found in the urethra and the vaginal vestibule; much less frequently in vagina and in uterus. In men it is mostly found in the posterior urethra; in the male genital tract is very rare.

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Ectopic ureteral orifice 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 |
|---|---|---|
| MED12mediator complex subunit 12 | Sometimes (5–29%) | 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.
