Genes affected

DEFA6 (HGNC:2765): (defensin alpha 6) Defensins are a family of antimicrobial and cytotoxic peptides thought to be involved in host defense. They are abundant in the granules of neutrophils and also found in the epithelia of mucosal surfaces such as those of the intestine, respiratory tract, urinary tract, and vagina. Members of the defensin family are highly similar in protein sequence and distinguished by a conserved cysteine motif. Several alpha defensin genes appear to be clustered on chromosome 8. The protein encoded by this gene, defensin, alpha 6, is highly expressed in the secretory granules of Paneth cells of the small intestine, and likely plays a role in host defense of human bowel.

The c.120G>T (p.E40D) alteration is located in exon 1 (coding exon 1) of the DEFA6 gene. This alteration results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 120, causing the glutamic acid (E) at amino acid position 40 to be replaced by an aspartic acid (D). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
