Genes affected

DEFB104A (HGNC:18115): (defensin beta 104A) Defensins form a family of antimicrobial and cytotoxic peptides made by neutrophils. Defensins are short, processed peptide molecules that are classified by structure into three groups: alpha-defensins, beta-defensins and theta-defensins. All beta-defensin genes are densely clustered in four to five syntenic chromosomal regions. Chromosome 8p23 contains at least two copies of the duplicated beta-defensin cluster. This duplication results in two identical copies of defensin, beta 104, DEFB104A and DEFB104B, in head-to-head orientation. This gene, DEFB104A, represents the more centromeric copy.

The c.112C>T (p.R38W) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 2) of the DEFB104A gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 112, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 38 to be replaced by a tryptophan (W). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
