Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Eye pain 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 |
|---|---|---|
| COL17A1collagen type XVII alpha 1 chain | Very often (80–99%) | In 2 conditions |
| CTNScystinosin, lysosomal cystine transporter | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| TACSTD2tumor associated calcium signal transducer 2 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| TGFBItransforming growth factor beta induced | Often (30–79%) | In 3 conditions |
| CHST6carbohydrate sulfotransferase 6 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| GNAQG protein subunit alpha q | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| COL8A2collagen type VIII alpha 2 chain | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| GRHL2grainyhead like transcription factor 2 | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| OVOL2ovo like zinc finger 2 | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| SLC39A14solute carrier family 39 member 14 | Rarely (1–4%) | 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.
