TICAM1 deficiency (TRIF deficiency)
Autosomal recessive (AR) UNC-93B and TLR3 deficiencies and autosomal dominant (AD) TLR3 and TRAF3 deficiencies underlie HSE in some children.
The TRIF-dependent TLR4 and DExD/H-box helicase pathways are largely redundant in host defense.
TRIF is important for the TLR3-dependent production of antiviral IFNs in the CNS during primary infection with HSV-1 in childhood.
