Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Recurrent shingles 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 |
|---|---|---|
| TAPBPTAP binding protein | Always | In 1 condition |
| POLD1DNA polymerase delta 1, catalytic subunit | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| UNC119unc-119 lipid binding chaperone | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| IGHG2immunoglobulin heavy constant gamma 2 (G2m marker) | Rarely (1–4%) | In 1 condition |
| IGKCimmunoglobulin kappa constant | 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.
