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.

The c.131G>A (p.R44Q) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 2) of the DEFB119 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 131, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 44 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
