In OMIM TRAF3 is provisionally associated with {?Encephalopathy, acute, infection-induced (herpes-specific), susceptibility to, 5}. Evidence cited in OMIM comes from Perez de Diego et al. (2010) (PMID: 20832341) who report a 18-year-old French female who had suffered from herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) with a de novo missense change in TRAF3 (R118W). The analysis of patient's cells showed normal levels of TRAF3 mRNA, but severely reduced levels of TRAF3 protein. Expression of wildtype and mutant alleles in cell lines showed that the mutant was dominant-negative. Mikula et al. (2001)(PMID: 11296228) reported that mice lacking Craf1(TRAF3) died at mid gestation with placenta and liver anomalies. Chang et al. (2014)(PMID: 24378539) created mice deficient in Traf3 specifically in regulatory T (Treg) cells and concluded that TRAF3 is a signaling factor that mediates the effector functions of Treg cells, and is involved in induction of ICOS as a result of impaired ERK activation. No further evidence for association with from Gene2Phenotype or a search in PubMed.Created: 27 Jun 2018, 9:26 a.m.

This gene was absent from the original PanelApp PID panel dataset (review April 2018). However it was listed in external expert immunodeficiency diagnostic gene list(s)
GOSH or GRID. In this combined PID panel, this gene has been rated as AMBER and needs further curational review to assess pertinence prior to v1.Created: 19 Apr 2018, 11:28 a.m.
