Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Microcolon 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 3 conditions |
| LMOD1leiomodin 1 | Always | In 2 conditions |
| MYH11myosin heavy chain 11 | Always | In 2 conditions |
| MYLKmyosin light chain kinase | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| SOX10SRY-box transcription factor 10 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| AP1S1adaptor related protein complex 1 subunit sigma 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| FRYLFRY like transcription coactivator | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| GATA6GATA binding protein 6 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| LMNAlamin A/C | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| ZMPSTE24zinc metallopeptidase STE24 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| GUCY2Cguanylate cyclase 2C | 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.
