Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Inflammation of the outer white part of the eye 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 |
|---|---|---|
| CTLA4cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein 4 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| HLA-DPA1major histocompatibility complex, class II, DP alpha 1 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| HLA-DPB1major histocompatibility complex, class II, DP beta 1 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| PRTN3proteinase 3 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| PTPN22protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| MBTPS2membrane bound transcription factor peptidase, site 2 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| GATA1GATA binding protein 1 | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| URODuroporphyrinogen decarboxylase | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| UROSuroporphyrinogen III synthase | Rarely (1–4%) | 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.
