Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Sleep walking 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 |
|---|---|---|
| CABP4calcium binding protein 4 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| CHRNA2cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 2 subunit | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| CHRNA4cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 4 subunit | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| CHRNB2cholinergic receptor nicotinic beta 2 subunit | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| CRHcorticotropin releasing hormone | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| DEPDC5DEP domain containing 5, GATOR1 subcomplex subunit | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| KCNT1potassium sodium-activated channel subfamily T member 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.
