Susceptibility to viral infections comprises PIDs that are caused by defects in antiviral sensing and effector pathways, including Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR-3), type I and III interferons (IFNs), STATs, and interferon-stimulated genes. These pathways are critical for virus recognition and inhibition.
Identifying a genetic defect responsible for the disease would allow a precise molecular diagnosis to be issued and make it possible to provide genetic counseling to the patient and their family members. In some cases, detecting a genetic variant can help explore specific treatment options.

Priority Genes : Genes where there is sufficient evidence (clinical and functional) to consider them associated with the disease; they are included in the clinical practice guidelines.
Secondary Genes: Genes related to the disease, but with a lower level of evidence or that constitute sporadic cases.
* Candidate Genes: Not enough evidence in humans, but potentially associated with the disease.
