6 genes linked to Retinal exudate

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Retinal exudate 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
POT1protection of telomeres 1	Always	In 1 condition
FZD4frizzled class receptor 4	Sometimes (5–29%)	In 1 condition
LRP5LDL receptor related protein 5	Sometimes (5–29%)	In 2 conditions
ZNF408zinc finger protein 408	Sometimes (5–29%)	In 1 condition
TREX1three prime repair exonuclease 1	Not recorded	In 1 condition
TSPAN12tetraspanin 12	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.
