Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Inflammation of the tongue 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 |
|---|---|---|
| SLC46A1solute carrier family 46 member 1 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| MMACHCmetabolism of cobalamin associated C | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| SLC39A4solute carrier family 39 member 4 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| AMNamnion associated transmembrane protein | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| CLTRNcollectrin, amino acid transport regulator | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| CUBNcubilin | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| HLA-Bmajor histocompatibility complex, class I, B | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| HLA-DRB1major histocompatibility complex, class II, DR beta 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | 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.
