Trait
Retinal nonattachment
Retinal nonattachment is a developmental (congenital) condition in which persistent fetal blood vessels appear to proliferate more dramatically during infancy, causing complete perinatal detachment of the retina. This may occur during or shortly after neurogenesis, since the pathology is apparent at birth, and it may have a tractional basis, involving fibrovascular strands between the retina, posterior lens and hyaloid vessels.

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Retinal nonattachment 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 |
|---|---|---|
| AKT1AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| BEST1bestrophin 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| IMPG1interphotoreceptor matrix proteoglycan 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| IMPG2interphotoreceptor matrix proteoglycan 2 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| PRPH2peripherin 2 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| ATOH7atonal bHLH transcription factor 7 | 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.
