Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which HSV encephalitis 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 |
|---|---|---|
| HYOU1hypoxia up-regulated 1 | Always | In 1 condition |
| SNORA31small nucleolar RNA, H/ACA box 31 | Always | In 1 condition |
| TBK1TANK binding kinase 1 | Always | In 1 condition |
| TICAM1TIR domain containing adaptor molecule 1 | Always | In 1 condition |
| TLR3toll like receptor 3 | Always | In 1 condition |
| TRAF3TNF receptor associated factor 3 | Always | In 1 condition |
| IRF3interferon regulatory factor 3 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| NCKAP1LNCK associated protein 1 like | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| STAT1signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 | Not recorded | In 2 conditions |
| UNC93B1unc-93B1 regulator of TLR signaling | Not recorded | 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.
