9 genes linked to Kinetic tremor

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Kinetic tremor 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
TENM4teneurin transmembrane protein 4	Very often (80–99%)	In 1 condition
ATXN10ataxin 10	Often (30–79%)	In 1 condition
ATXN2ataxin 2	Often (30–79%)	In 1 condition
GRIK2glutamate ionotropic receptor kainate type subunit 2	Often (30–79%)	In 1 condition
XPNPEP3X-prolyl aminopeptidase 3	Often (30–79%)	In 1 condition
AFG3L2AFG3 like matrix AAA peptidase subunit 2	Sometimes (5–29%)	In 1 condition
MAOAmonoamine oxidase A	Not recorded	In 1 condition
NOTCH2NLCnotch 2 N-terminal like C	Not recorded	In 1 condition
PPP1R15Bprotein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 15B	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.
