Trait
Equinus calcaneus
Abnormal plantar flexion of the calcaneus relative to the longitudinal axis of the tibia. This results in the angle between the long axis of the tibia and the long axis of the heel bone (calcaneus) being greater than 90 degrees.
Summary
- Also called
- Equinus deformity of the calcaneus, Hindfoot equinus

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Equinus calcaneus 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 |
|---|---|---|
| AEBP1AE binding protein 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| FBN1fibrillin 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| HADHAhydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase trifunctional multienzyme complex subunit alpha | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| HADHBhydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase trifunctional multienzyme complex subunit beta | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| SYT1synaptotagmin 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| GJB2gap junction protein beta 2 | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| GJB6gap junction protein beta 6 | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| HOXD10homeobox D10 | 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.
