Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Scalp tenderness 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 |
|---|---|---|
| ALX4ALX homeobox 4 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| FASFas cell surface death receptor | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| HLA-Bmajor histocompatibility complex, class I, B | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| HLA-DRB1major histocompatibility complex, class II, DR beta 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 2 conditions |
| MSX2msh homeobox 2 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| P4HA2prolyl 4-hydroxylase subunit alpha 2 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| PTPN22protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 2 conditions |
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.
