Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Necrotizing enterocolitis 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 |
|---|---|---|
| FCN3ficolin 3 | Always | In 1 condition |
| MMADHCmetabolism of cobalamin associated D | Always | In 1 condition |
| ACADVLacyl-CoA dehydrogenase very long chain | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| DEF6DEF6 guanine nucleotide exchange factor | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| FHfumarate hydratase | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| PIGYphosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class Y | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| MYH11myosin heavy chain 11 | 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.
