Popis: 3523 Background: Defensins are antimicrobial peptides that play important roles in innate immune response. Deregulation of beta-defensin-1 ( DEFB1) gene expression has been implicated in several cancers and we previously showed that single nucleotide polymorphisms in DEFB1 are associated with clinical outcomes in patients with metastatic CRC. Hence, we aimed to further characterize the molecular features associated with DEFB1 gene expression in CRC. Methods: 14416 CRC tumors tested at Caris Life Sciences (Phoenix, AZ) with NextGen Sequencing on DNA (592 genes or WES), RNA (WTS) and IHC were analyzed. Top quartile transcripts per million (TPM) for DEFB1 expression were considered high (Q4) while bottom quartile low (Q1). Consensus molecular subtypes (CMS) were assessed using RNAseq. Cell infiltration in the tumor microenvironment (TME) was estimated by QuantiSEQ. X2/Fisher-Exact were used and significance was determined as P-value adjusted for multiple comparison ( Q
