Trait
Fetal distress
An intrauterine state characterized by suboptimal values in the fetal heart rate, oxygenation of fetal blood, or other parameters indicative of compromise of the fetus. Signs of fetal distress include repetitive variable decelerations, fetal tachycardia or bradycardia, late decelerations, or low biophysical profile.

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Fetal distress 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.
