Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Hydranencephaly 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 |
|---|---|---|
| CEP55centrosomal protein 55 | Always | In 1 condition |
| ESAMendothelial cell adhesion molecule | Always | In 1 condition |
| FLVCR2FLVCR choline and putative heme transporter 2 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| GPKOWG-patch domain and KOW motifs | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| SNRPBsmall nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptides B and B1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| WDR81WD repeat domain 81 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| NDE1nudE neurodevelopment protein 1 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| PHGDHphosphoglycerate dehydrogenase | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| TBX15T-box transcription factor 15 | 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.
