Analysis of genetic factors influencing alpha-defensin gene expression
Background: The DEFA1A3 locus on chromosome 8p23.1 has been known to exhibit copy number variation (between 3 and 16 copies) and to include either the DEFA1 gene or the DEFA3 gene in any repeat. These two genes encode the Human Neutrophil Peptides HNPs 1-3, antimicrobial peptides implicated in the i...
