Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Tall chin 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 |
|---|---|---|
| CILK1ciliogenesis associated kinase 1 | Always | In 1 condition |
| APC2APC regulator of Wnt signaling pathway 2 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| CHD8chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 8 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| NSD1nuclear receptor binding SET domain protein 1 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| OPHN1oligophrenin 1 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| BORCS8BLOC-1 related complex subunit 8 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| CRELD1CRELD disulfide isomerase 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| MYH8myosin heavy chain 8 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| EIF2S3eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit gamma | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| TLK2tousled like kinase 2 | 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.
