Genes affected

DEFA4 (HGNC:2763): (defensin alpha 4) 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 are clustered on chromosome 8. This gene differs from other genes of this family by an extra 83-base segment that is apparently the result of a recent duplication within the coding region. The protein encoded by this gene, defensin, alpha 4, is found in the neutrophils; it exhibits corticostatic activity and inhibits corticotropin stimulated corticosterone production.

Ambry Genetics

Dec 19, 2022

The c.104G>A (p.R35H) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 1) of the DEFA4 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 104, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 35 to be replaced by a histidine (H). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
