Gene: ATG4AComment on list classification: New gene added by Boaz Palterer. Single patient described in PMID:33310865 with recurrent herpes simplex virus 2-induced lymphocytic Mollaret's meningitis, and a ATG4A variant (c.268C>A) supported by functional data.

Hait et al. described a single patient with a rare heterozygous variant in ATG4 presenting with recurrent HSV2 meningitis (Mollaret's meningitis). They showed that the mutations caused impaired HSV2-induced autophagy leading to increased viral replication and apoptosis of patient fibroblasts. The defect was rescued by the introduction of WT ATG4 into patient fibroblasts.
