Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Sparse or absent eyelashes 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 |
|---|---|---|
| EPS8L3EPS8 signaling adaptor L3 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| HRHR lysine demethylase and nuclear receptor corepressor | Very often (80–99%) | 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.
