Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Folliculitis 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 |
|---|---|---|
| IL10RAinterleukin 10 receptor subunit alpha | Always | In 1 condition |
| IL10RBinterleukin 10 receptor subunit beta | Always | In 1 condition |
| IL17RAinterleukin 17 receptor A | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| LRP1LDL receptor related protein 1 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| MBTPS2membrane bound transcription factor peptidase, site 2 | Often (30–79%) | In 2 conditions |
| SAT1spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase 1 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| GJB2gap junction protein beta 2 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| GJB6gap junction protein beta 6 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| KRT17keratin 17 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| KRT6Bkeratin 6B | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| XIAPX-linked inhibitor of apoptosis | 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.
