Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which High blood insulin levels while fasting 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 |
|---|---|---|
| INSRinsulin receptor | Always | In 4 conditions |
| GCKglucokinase | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| HADHhydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| LMNAlamin A/C | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| MEN1menin 1 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| YY1YY1 transcription factor | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| CDKN1Bcyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 1B | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| GLUD1glutamate dehydrogenase 1 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| PAPPA2pappalysin 2 | Often (30–79%) | 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.
