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 for HD5 (DEFA5) and Reg3A (REG3A) predict aGVHD risk. We analysed pre-transplant re ...[more]
