Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Long ear 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 |
|---|---|---|
| DPYDdihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| KDM3Blysine demethylase 3B | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| BORCS8BLOC-1 related complex subunit 8 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| EIF5Aeukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| STT3ASTT3 oligosaccharyltransferase complex catalytic subunit A | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| EEDembryonic ectoderm development | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| WNT7AWnt family member 7A | 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.
