Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Shoulder flexion contracture 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 |
|---|---|---|
| KYkyphoscoliosis peptidase | Always | In 1 condition |
| HSPG2heparan sulfate proteoglycan 2 | Often (30–79%) | In 2 conditions |
| TNNT1troponin T1, slow skeletal type | Often (30–79%) | In 2 conditions |
| COL12A1collagen type XII alpha 1 chain | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| JAG2jagged canonical Notch ligand 2 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| MYL11myosin light chain 11 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| SCN4Asodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 4 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| MYH3myosin heavy chain 3 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| RNU4ATACRNA, U4atac small nuclear | 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.
