Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Increased tyrosine 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 |
|---|---|---|
| HPD4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase | Always | In 3 conditions |
| MPV17mitochondrial inner membrane protein MPV17 | Always | In 1 condition |
| SLC25A13solute carrier family 25 member 13 | Always | In 2 conditions |
| TFAMtranscription factor A, mitochondrial | Always | In 1 condition |
| BCS1LBCS1 ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase complex chaperone | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| FAHfumarylacetoacetate hydrolase | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| TATtyrosine aminotransferase | 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.
