3 genes linked to Throat swelling

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Throat swelling 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
SERPING1serpin family G member 1	Sometimes (5–29%)	In 2 conditions
XPNPEP2X-prolyl aminopeptidase 2	Sometimes (5–29%)	In 1 condition
F12coagulation factor XII	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.
