Abstract excerpt
Pediatric encephalitis has significant morbidity and mortality, yet 50% of cases are unexplained. Host genetics plays a role in encephalitis' development; however, the contributing variants are poorly understood. One child with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis and ten with unexplained encephalitis underwent whole genome sequencing to identify rare candidate variants in genes known to cause monogenic immunologic...
