Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Hypocalcemic tetany 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 |
|---|---|---|
| AIREautoimmune regulator | Always | In 1 condition |
| FAM111AFAM111 trypsin like peptidase A | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| RRAGDRas related GTP binding D | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| TBCEtubulin folding cofactor E | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| FOXN1forkhead box N1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| GNASGNAS complex locus | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 5 conditions |
| STX16syntaxin 16 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| CTNScystinosin, lysosomal cystine transporter | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| DMP1dentin matrix acidic phosphoprotein 1 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| ENPP1ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 | 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.
