Novel Gene linked to herpes-related cold sores

Novel Gene linked to herpes-related cold sores | MicrobiologyBytes | Scoop.it

Researchers have identified a human chromosome containing a specific gene associated with susceptibility to herpes simplex labialis (HSL), the common cold sore. The gene C21ORF91 encodes a cytoplasmic protein with currently unknown function. Cold sores occur when the herpes virus reactivates from its quiescent state within the nerve, infecting the lip, nose, or face.
