Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Urinary retention 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 |
|---|---|---|
| PTCRApre T cell antigen receptor alpha | Always | In 1 condition |
| CACNA1Scalcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 S | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| GABRA3gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit alpha3 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| KCNJ18potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 18 | 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.
