Abstract excerpt
Host genetics shape the gut microbiota, and gut dysbiosis increases the risk of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). Paneth cells and microbiota have interactions that contribute to immune regulation. α-defensin-5 (HD5) and regenerating islet-derived protein 3 alpha (Reg3A) are the most abundant Paneth cell antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). We hypothesized that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genes...
