Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Generalized hypertrichosis 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 |
|---|---|---|
| KMT2Alysine methyltransferase 2A | Always | In 1 condition |
| SRCAPSnf2 related CREBBP activator protein | Always | In 1 condition |
| ATP6V1B2ATPase H+ transporting V1 subunit B2 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| KCNH1potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily H member 1 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| KCNN3potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily N member 3 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| SETBP1SET binding protein 1 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| NEU1neuraminidase 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 2 conditions |
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.
