Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Absence of a tooth 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.

|---|---|---|
| WNT10BWnt family member 10B | Always | In 1 condition |
| CEP152centrosomal protein 152 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| GREM2gremlin 2, DAN family BMP antagonist | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| CDH3cadherin 3 | Often (30–79%) | In 2 conditions |
| ATP6V1B2ATPase H+ transporting V1 subunit B2 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
