Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Broad nostril 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 |
|---|---|---|
| MKS1MKS transition zone complex subunit 1 | Always | In 1 condition |
| NALCNsodium leak channel, non-selective | Always | In 2 conditions |
| NSD1nuclear receptor binding SET domain protein 1 | Always | In 1 condition |
| DDR2discoidin domain receptor tyrosine kinase 2 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| NAA10N-alpha-acetyltransferase 10, NatA catalytic subunit | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| ZFXzinc finger protein X-linked | 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.
