Trait
Fibroma
Benign tumors that are composed of fibrous or connective tissue. They can grow in all organs, arising from mesenchyme tissue. The term "fibroblastic" or "fibromatous" is used to describe tumors of the fibrous connective tissue. When the term fibroma is used without modifier, it is usually considered benign, with the term fibrosarcoma reserved for malignant tumors.

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Fibroma 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 |
|---|---|---|
| IL6STinterleukin 6 cytokine family signal transducer | Always | In 1 condition |
| PDGFRBplatelet derived growth factor receptor beta | Always | In 3 conditions |
| APCAPC regulator of Wnt signaling pathway | Very often (80–99%) | In 4 conditions |
| CTNNB1catenin beta 1 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| NOTCH3notch receptor 3 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| CDC73cell division cycle 73 | Often (30–79%) | In 2 conditions |
| PTENphosphatase and tensin homolog | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| COL4A5collagen type IV alpha 5 chain | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| COL4A6collagen type IV alpha 6 chain | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| FLNAfilamin A | 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.
