Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Kidney degeneration 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 |
|---|---|---|
| ALG5ALG5 dolichyl-phosphate beta-glucosyltransferase | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| DCDC2doublecortin domain containing 2 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| PAX7paired box 7 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| TMEM67transmembrane protein 67 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| ZMIZ1zinc finger MIZ-type containing 1 | 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.
