Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Low-set nipples 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.

|---|---|---|
| PIGLphosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class L | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| KAT6Alysine acetyltransferase 6A | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| AARS1alanyl-tRNA synthetase 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| CARS1cysteinyl-tRNA synthetase 1 | 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.
