Trait
Sigmoid kidney
A type of cross fused renal ectopia where the normal side kidney is present superiorly and the direction of pelvic is medial, the kidney which crosses positioned inferiorly with direction of pelvic toward the lateral side.

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Sigmoid kidney 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 |
|---|---|---|
| MNX1motor neuron and pancreas homeobox 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | 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.
