Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Enlarged thymus 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 |
|---|---|---|
| TNFtumor necrosis factor | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| AKT1AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| ALG14ALG14 UDP-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase subunit | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| MTHFRmethylenetetrahydrofolate reductase | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| PTENphosphatase and tensin homolog | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| VANGL2VANGL planar cell polarity protein 2 | 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.
