Trait
Lymphoid nodular hyperplasia
Lymphoid nodular hyperplasia (LNH) of the terminal ileum and colon has been considered a mucosal response to nonspecific stimuli, most often infections, and consequently has been regarded as a pathophysiologic phenomenon during infancy and childhood. LNH can be ascertained by colonoscopy, whereby a lymphoid nodule is defined as an extruding follicle with a diameter of not more than 2 mm, and LNH is defined as a cluster of not more than 10 of such extruding lymphoid nodules (see Figure 1 of PMID:17368236).

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Lymphoid nodular hyperplasia 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.
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.
