TLR3 Gene and Susceptibility to Herpes Simplex Encephalitis Type 2: NGS Genetic DNA Test

Herpes simplex encephalitis type 2 (HSE-2) is a rare but serious neurological disorder caused by the herpes simplex virus. It affects the brain and can lead to seizures, coma, and even death. While anyone can develop HSE-2, research has shown that certain genetic factors can increase the risk of susceptibility to the disease. One of these factors is the TLR3 gene.

The TLR3 Gene and HSE-2

The TLR3 gene is responsible for producing a protein that is involved in the immune system's response to viral infections. When the herpes simplex virus enters the body, this protein recognizes it and triggers an immune response to fight the infection. However, certain variations in the TLR3 gene can make it less effective at recognizing the virus, which can lead to an increased risk of developing HSE-2.

NGS Genetic DNA Test for TLR3 Gene Susceptibility

Fortunately, advances in genetic testing have made it possible to identify these variations in the TLR3 gene. A next-generation sequencing (NGS) genetic DNA test can analyze an individual's DNA and determine their susceptibility to HSE-2 based on their TLR3 gene variations.

Cost of NGS Genetic DNA Test

The cost of an NGS genetic DNA test for TLR3 gene susceptibility varies depending on the provider. At DNA Labs India, the cost of this test is INR 20,000.

Symptoms and Diagnosis of HSE-2

The symptoms of HSE-2 can vary, but they often include fever, headache, confusion, seizures, and behavioral changes. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. A doctor can perform a physical exam, neurological exam, and imaging tests to diagnose HSE-2.

Conclusion

If you are concerned about your risk of developing HSE-2, consider getting an NGS genetic DNA test to determine your TLR3 gene susceptibility. While the test does come at a cost, it can provide valuable information that can help you take steps to reduce your risk of developing this serious neurological disorder.
