Trait
Vanishing testis
A condition which is considered to be due to the subsequent atrophy and disappearance in fetal life of an initially normal testis. In the presence of spermatic cord structures is evidence of the presence of the testis in early intrauterine life. When associated with a blind-ending spermatic cord, this entity is named as his absence of a testis in an otherwise normal 46XY male is usually unilateral and is assumed to be a consequence of intrauterine or perinatal torsion or infarction.

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Vanishing testis 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.

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.
