| Gene | How often it is seen | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| KRT5keratin 5 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| NF1neurofibromin 1 | Often (30–79%) | In 4 conditions |
| POFUT1protein O-fucosyltransferase 1 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| POGLUT1protein O-glucosyltransferase 1 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| PSENENpresenilin enhancer, gamma-secretase subunit | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| SPRED1sprouty related EVH1 domain containing 1 | Often (30–79%) | In 2 conditions |
