Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Prominent sternum 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 |
|---|---|---|
| DYMdymeclin | Always | In 2 conditions |
| GATA6GATA binding protein 6 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| LONP1lon peptidase 1, mitochondrial | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| PRKG2protein kinase cGMP-dependent 2 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| RMRPRNA component of mitochondrial RNA processing endoribonuclease | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| WNT7AWnt family member 7A | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| ZFPM2zinc finger protein, FOG family member 2 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| DLK1delta like non-canonical Notch ligand 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 2 conditions |
| MEG3maternally expressed 3 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 2 conditions |
| RTL1retrotransposon Gag like 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 2 conditions |

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.
