Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Mesomelic arm shortening 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 |
|---|---|---|
| SHOXSHOX homeobox | Always | In 1 condition |
| ESCO2establishment of sister chromatid cohesion N-acetyltransferase 2 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| EIF4A3eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A3 | Often (30–79%) | In 2 conditions |
| ROR2ROR family WNT receptor 2 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| FLNAfilamin A | 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.
