This is a list of variants' phenotypes submitted to ClinVar and linked to the TLR3 gene.

Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the TLR3 gene is commonly pathogenic or not.

In the table, we include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, Mane Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equals 1. Click the count to view the source variants.

Warning: slight differences between displayed counts and the number of variants in ClinVar may occur, primarily due to (1) the application of a different transcript and/or consequence by our variant effect predictor or (2) differences in clinical significance: we classify Benign/Likely benign variants as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic variants as Likely pathogenic.

• Function: FUNCTION: Key component of innate and adaptive immunity. TLRs (Toll-like receptors) control host immune response against pathogens through recognition of molecular patterns specific to microorganisms. TLR3 is a nucleotide-sensing TLR which is activated by double-stranded RNA, a sign of viral infection. Acts via the adapter TRIF/TICAM1, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, IRF3 nuclear translocation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12471095, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12539043, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16043704, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16144834, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16720699, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16858407, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17178723, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18172197, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22611194}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Encephalopathy, acute, infection-induced, Herpes- specific, 2 (IIAE2) [MIM:613002]: A rare complication of human herpesvirus 1 (HHV-1) infection, occurring in only a small minority of HHV-1 infected individuals. It is characterized by hemorrhagic necrosis of parts of the temporal and frontal lobes. Onset is over several days and involves fever, headache, seizures, stupor, and often coma, frequently with a fatal outcome. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17872438}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry. TLR3 mutations predispose otherwise healthy individuals to isolated herpes simplex encephalitis through a mechanism that involves impaired IFNs production and reduced immune defense against viral infection in the central nervous system.
