Liver abscess
A localized, circumscribed collection of purulent material (pus) within the liver parenchyma, typically resulting from a bacterial, parasitic, or fungal infection. Unlike hepatitis, which is often diffuse, an abscess is a focal lesion.

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Liver abscess 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 |
|---|---|---|
| IRAK4interleukin 1 receptor associated kinase 4 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| CTSCcathepsin C | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| CYBAcytochrome b-245 alpha chain | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 2 conditions |
| CYBBcytochrome b-245 beta chain | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 2 conditions |
| CYBC1cytochrome b-245 chaperone 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| NCF1neutrophil cytosolic factor 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 2 conditions |
| NCF2neutrophil cytosolic factor 2 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 2 conditions |
| NCF4neutrophil cytosolic factor 4 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| ABCB4ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 4 | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| IGHG2immunoglobulin heavy constant gamma 2 (G2m marker) | Rarely (1–4%) | 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.
