Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Low blood chloride levels 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 |
|---|---|---|
| BSNDbarttin CLCNK type accessory subunit beta | Often (30–79%) | In 2 conditions |
| CLCNKAchloride voltage-gated channel Ka | Often (30–79%) | In 2 conditions |
| CLCNKBchloride voltage-gated channel Kb | Often (30–79%) | In 2 conditions |
| KCNJ1potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 1 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| MAGED2MAGE family member D2 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| SLC12A1solute carrier family 12 member 1 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| SLC26A3solute carrier family 26 member 3 | 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.
