Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Fetal ascites 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 |
|---|---|---|
| MDFICMyoD family inhibitor domain containing | Always | In 1 condition |
| NEXNnexilin F-actin binding protein | Always | In 1 condition |
| PTH1Rparathyroid hormone 1 receptor | Always | In 1 condition |
| THOC2THO complex subunit 2 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| EIF5Aeukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| FBXO22F-box protein 22 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| GNB2G protein subunit beta 2 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| NPC2NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 2 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| HSD17B4hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 4 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| NPC1NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 1 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| RHDRh blood group D antigen | 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.
