8 genes linked to Excessive face hair

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Excessive face hair 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
GNSglucosamine (N-acetyl)-6-sulfatase	Always	In 1 condition
WNT4Wnt family member 4	Very often (80–99%)	In 1 condition
PPP1R21protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 21	Often (30–79%)	In 1 condition
TP63tumor protein p63	Often (30–79%)	In 1 condition
AFF4ALF transcription elongation factor 4	Sometimes (5–29%)	In 1 condition
CPOXcoproporphyrinogen oxidase	Sometimes (5–29%)	In 1 condition
PEPDpeptidase D	Not recorded	In 1 condition
TBX15T-box transcription factor 15	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.
