Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Forearm undergrowth 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 |
|---|---|---|
| SHOXSHOX homeobox | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| EXT1exostosin glycosyltransferase 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| EXT2exostosin glycosyltransferase 2 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| RECQL4RecQ like helicase 4 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| DONSONDNA replication fork stabilization factor DONSON | 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.
