Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Increased facial hair growth 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 |
|---|---|---|
| CREBBPCREB binding lysine acetyltransferase | Always | In 1 condition |
| EP300EP300 lysine acetyltransferase | Always | In 1 condition |
| INSRinsulin receptor | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
