Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Increased level of ketone bodies in blood 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 |
|---|---|---|
| COX6B1cytochrome c oxidase subunit 6B1 | Always | In 1 condition |
| OXCT13-oxoacid CoA-transferase 1 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| PHKA2phosphorylase kinase regulatory subunit alpha 2 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| PHKG2phosphorylase kinase catalytic subunit gamma 2 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| GCDHglutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| SLC37A4solute carrier family 37 member 4 | 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.
