Trait
Fundic gland polyposis
Multiple polyps in the acid-secreting mucosa of the gastric body and fundus. Fundic gland polyps (FGP) are usually 1 to 5 mm in size, though larger polyps have been found. FGPs are typically sessile, shiny, translucent, pale to pinkish in color (resembling the surrounding mucosa), and often exhibit tiny surface blood vessels. These polyps have characteristically been observed to chunk off or detach entirely at the base when removed with cold forceps, in contrast to other types of gastric polyps.

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Fundic gland polyposis 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.
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.
