Abstract excerpt
We previously reported a protective association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs4415345G and rs4610776A alleles) of Paneth cell α-defensin-5 against acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). Because dysbiosis has been associated with aGVHD, we hypothesized that these SNPs may have a gut microbiota signature. In Lasso regression analysis of 248 healthy individuals, rs4415345G was associated with a...
