Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Glue ear 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 |
|---|---|---|
| DHRS3dehydrogenase/reductase 3 | Always | In 1 condition |
| TBC1D32TBC1 domain family member 32 | Always | In 1 condition |
| H4C3H4 clustered histone 3 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| SIN3ASIN3 transcription regulator family member A | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| SLF2SMC5/6 complex localization factor 2 | 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.
