Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Ridged fingernail 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 |
|---|---|---|
| EFNB1ephrin B1 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| MSX1msh homeobox 1 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| SLC39A4solute carrier family 39 member 4 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| DVL1dishevelled segment polarity protein 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| DVL3dishevelled segment polarity protein 3 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| FZD2frizzled class receptor 2 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| WNT5AWnt family member 5A | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| TINF2TERF1 interacting nuclear factor 2 | 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.
