3 genes linked to Cyst on spleen

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Cyst on spleen 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.

GeneHow often it is seenConditions
ESAMendothelial cell adhesion moleculeAlwaysIn 1 condition
GLIS3GLIS family zinc finger 3Sometimes (5–29%)In 1 condition
TRPV6transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 6Sometimes (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.
