Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Skin dimple 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 |
|---|---|---|
| ATIC5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase/IMP cyclohydrolase | Always | In 1 condition |
| EPHB4EPH receptor B4 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| SOX9SRY-box transcription factor 9 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| COL25A1collagen type XXV alpha 1 chain | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| DPAGT1dolichyl-phosphate N-acetylglucosaminephosphotransferase 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 2 conditions |
| ERGIC1endoplasmic reticulum-golgi intermediate compartment 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| SCYL2SCY1 like pseudokinase 2 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| WNK3WNK lysine deficient protein kinase 3 | 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.
