Genes affected

DEFB127 (HGNC:16206): (defensin beta 127) Defensins are cysteine-rich cationic polypeptides that are important in the immunologic response to invading microorganisms. The antimicrobial protein encoded by this gene is secreted and is a member of the beta defensin protein family. Beta defensin genes are found in several clusters throughout the genome, with this gene mapping to a cluster at 20p13. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.83A>G (p.Y28C) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 2) of the DEFB127 gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 83, causing the tyrosine (Y) at amino acid position 28 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
