Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Patchy hypopigmentation 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 |
|---|---|---|
| BLMBLM RecQ like helicase | Always | In 1 condition |
| EBPEBP cholestenol delta-isomerase | Always | In 2 conditions |
| ABCB6ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 6 (LAN blood group) | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| ABCC9ATP binding cassette subfamily C member 9 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| CRIPTCXXC repeat containing interactor of PDZ3 domain | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| KRT14keratin 14 | Often (30–79%) | In 2 conditions |
| KRT5keratin 5 | Often (30–79%) | In 2 conditions |
| UBE2Aubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 A | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| FERMT1FERM domain containing kindlin 1 | 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.
