Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Empty sella turcica 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 |
|---|---|---|
| ZRSR2zinc finger CCCH-type, RNA binding motif and serine/arginine rich 2 | Always | In 1 condition |
| AEBP1AE binding protein 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| DNA2DNA replication helicase/nuclease 2 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| MAU2MAU2 sister chromatid cohesion factor | 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.
