Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Optic nerve misrouting 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 |
|---|---|---|
| MC1Rmelanocortin 1 receptor | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| OCA2OCA2 melanosomal transmembrane protein | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| SLC45A2solute carrier family 45 member 2 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| TYRP1tyrosinase related protein 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| SLC38A8solute carrier family 38 member 8 | 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.
