3 genes linked to Impaired toe-walking ability

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Impaired toe-walking ability 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
ARHGAP19Rho GTPase activating protein 19	Always	In 1 condition
DARS2aspartyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrial	Always	In 1 condition
PTCRApre T cell antigen receptor alpha	Always	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.
