Trait

Midnasal stenosis

Abnormal narrowing (stenosis) of the midnasal cavity, i.e., of the middle nasal meatus, which in neonates can cause respiratory distress.

HPO HP:0010644

Summary

Also called
Midnasal atresia or stenosis
Body system
Abnormality of head or neck

16 genes linked to Midnasal stenosis

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Midnasal stenosis 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.
