Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Hypoperistalsis 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 |
|---|---|---|
| MYL9myosin light chain 9 | Always | In 1 condition |
| RAD21RAD21 cohesin complex component | Always | In 1 condition |
| ACTG2actin gamma 2, smooth muscle | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| LMOD1leiomodin 1 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| MYH11myosin heavy chain 11 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| MYLKmyosin light chain kinase | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| ACTA2actin alpha 2, smooth muscle | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| COL4A5collagen type IV alpha 5 chain | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| COL4A6collagen type IV alpha 6 chain | Often (30–79%) | 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.
