Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Retractile testis 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 |
|---|---|---|
| OTX2orthodenticle homeobox 2 | Always | In 1 condition |
| POLA1DNA polymerase alpha 1, catalytic subunit | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| TBCDtubulin folding cofactor D | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| LARP7La ribonucleoprotein 7, transcriptional regulator | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| NR5A1nuclear receptor subfamily 5 group A member 1 | 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.
