Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Lack of sweating or excessive sweating 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 |
|---|---|---|
| ATL1atlastin GTPase 1 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| ATL3atlastin GTPase 3 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| SPTLC1serine palmitoyltransferase long chain base subunit 1 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| SPTLC2serine palmitoyltransferase long chain base subunit 2 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| CDSNcorneodesmosin | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| KRT74keratin 74 | 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.
