Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Recurrent sore throat 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 |
|---|---|---|
| IRF4interferon regulatory factor 4 | Always | In 1 condition |
| NFKB2nuclear factor kappa B subunit 2 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| ALG12ALG12 alpha-1,6-mannosyltransferase | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| HLA-Bmajor histocompatibility complex, class I, B | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| HLA-DRB1major histocompatibility complex, class II, DR beta 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| P4HA2prolyl 4-hydroxylase subunit alpha 2 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| PTPN22protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| SLC29A3solute carrier family 29 member 3 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| TNFRSF1ATNF receptor superfamily member 1A | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| SH2D1ASH2 domain containing 1A | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
| XIAPX-linked inhibitor of apoptosis | 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.
