Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Megacystis 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 |
|---|---|---|
| ACTG2actin gamma 2, smooth muscle | Always | In 4 conditions |
| MYH11myosin heavy chain 11 | Always | In 3 conditions |
| MYL9myosin light chain 9 | Always | In 1 condition |
| LMOD1leiomodin 1 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| MYLKmyosin light chain kinase | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| LRIG2leucine rich repeats and immunoglobulin like domains 2 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| NKX2-1NK2 homeobox 1 | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| AQP2aquaporin 2 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| AVPR2arginine vasopressin receptor 2 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| TP63tumor protein p63 | 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.
