Normal function

Dysfunction and disease

Hait et al. described two adult patients with recurrent HSV2 lymphocytic Mollaret’s meningitis [156]. One patient was noted to have a rare monoallelic variant in the autophagy protein ATG4A and the second in the autophagy protein LC3B2 (PMID:33310865) [Load More]
