1 gene linked to Hypoproteinemic edema

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Hypoproteinemic edema 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.

TMPRSS15transmembrane serine protease 15	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.
