Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Heinz bodies 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 |
|---|---|---|
| CASKcalcium/calmodulin dependent serine protein kinase | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| G6PDglucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| GPX1glutathione peroxidase 1 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| HBA1hemoglobin subunit alpha 1 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| HBA2hemoglobin subunit alpha 2 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| HBBhemoglobin subunit beta | 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.
