Abstract excerpt
Defensins confer host defense against microorganisms and are important for human health. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in defensin gene-coding regions could lead to less active variants. Using SNP data available at the dbSNP database and frequency information from the 1000 Genomes Project, two DEFA5 (L26I and R13H) and eight DEFB1 (C35S, K31T, K33R, R29G, V06I, C12Y, Y28* and C05*) missense and nonsense...
