Human alpha defensin CNV haplotype diversity [PDF]
, 2018 Humans have highly variable number of alpha defensin genes, with between 3-16 diploid copies. Alpha-defensin genes have important roles in human innate immunity and diseases. Recently, GWAS studies reported this locus associated with IgA nephropathy and periodontitis. However, the underlying mechanism of association is not clear. In this Ph.D.

Alpha defensin expression in white blood cells [PDF]
, 2019 Copy number variation (CNV) accounts for a large proportion of genetic variation. The DEFA1A3 CNV has variable numbers of copies of the DEFA1 and DEFA3 genes that encode alpha defensins 1-3, antimicrobial peptides abundant in human neutrophils.
