Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Prune belly 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 |
|---|---|---|
| MYH11myosin heavy chain 11 | Always | In 1 condition |
| CHRM3cholinergic receptor muscarinic 3 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| ALKBH8alkB homolog 8, tRNA methyltransferase | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| PIEZO1piezo type mechanosensitive ion channel component 1 (Er blood group) | 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.
