Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Uveal ectropion 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 |
|---|---|---|
| CPAMD8C3 and PZP like alpha-2-macroglobulin domain containing 8 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| COL8A2collagen type VIII alpha 2 chain | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| GRHL2grainyhead like transcription factor 2 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| LAMB2laminin subunit beta 2 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| OVOL2ovo like zinc finger 2 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 2 conditions |
| VSX1visual system homeobox 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| ZEB1zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1 | 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.
