Genes affected

DEFB119 (HGNC:18099): (defensin beta 119) This gene encodes a member of the beta subfamily of defensins. Beta-defensins are antimicrobial peptides that protect tissues and organs from infection by a variety of microorganisms. This gene is found in a cluster with other beta-defensin genes on the long arm of chromosome 20. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.221G>C (p.W74S) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 2) of the DEFB119 gene. This alteration results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 221, causing the tryptophan (W) at amino acid position 74 to be replaced by a serine (S). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
