Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Peripheral edema 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 |
|---|---|---|
| ZNHIT3zinc finger HIT-type containing 3 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| EPHB4EPH receptor B4 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| FLNCfilamin C | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| FSHRfollicle stimulating hormone receptor | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| KIF20Akinesin family member 20A | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| MYPNmyopalladin | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| PRKAG2protein kinase AMP-activated non-catalytic subunit gamma 2 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| SLC34A2solute carrier family 34 member 2 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| TLL1tolloid like 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| TNNI3troponin I3, cardiac type | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| TNNT2troponin T2, cardiac type | 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.
