Trait
Rapid breathing
Clinical name: Hyperventilation
Hyperventilation refers to an increased pulmonary ventilation rate that is faster than necessary for the exchange of gases. Hyperventilation can result from increased frequency of breathing, an increased tidal volume, or both, and leads to an excess intake of oxygen and the blowing off of carbon dioxide.
Summary

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Rapid breathing 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.
