Genes affected

DEFB132 (HGNC:33806): (defensin beta 132) Defensins are cysteine-rich cationic polypeptides that are important in the immunologic response to invading microorganisms. The protein encoded by this gene is secreted and is a member of the beta defensin protein family. This protein binds spermatozoa and has antimicrobial activity against E. coli. 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]

The c.262A>G (p.K88E) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 2) of the DEFB132 gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 262, causing the lysine (K) at amino acid position 88 to be replaced by a glutamic acid (E). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
