Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Inflammation of the thin layer on top of the white part of eye 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 |
|---|---|---|
| NLRP3NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| DNASE1L3deoxyribonuclease 1L3 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| PSMB8proteasome 20S subunit beta 8 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| SLC29A3solute carrier family 29 member 3 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| MBTPS2membrane bound transcription factor peptidase, site 2 | 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.
