Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Increased intervertebral space 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 |
|---|---|---|
| EXTL3exostosin like glycosyltransferase 3 | Always | In 2 conditions |
| PLCB3phospholipase C beta 3 | Always | In 1 condition |
| SLC26A2solute carrier family 26 member 2 | Always | In 1 condition |
| ACP5acid phosphatase 5, tartrate resistant | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| TMEM53transmembrane protein 53 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| TRPV4transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 4 | Sometimes (5–29%) | 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.
