Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Thyroid agenesis 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 |
|---|---|---|
| FOXE1forkhead box E1 | Very often (80–99%) | In 3 conditions |
| NKX2-1NK2 homeobox 1 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| NKX2-5NK2 homeobox 5 | Very often (80–99%) | In 2 conditions |
| PAX8paired box 8 | Very often (80–99%) | In 2 conditions |
| SLC26A4solute carrier family 26 member 4 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| TSHRthyroid stimulating hormone receptor | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| KAT6Blysine acetyltransferase 6B | Often (30–79%) | 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.
