A Common Polymorphism in <i>RNASE6</i> Impacts Its Antimicrobial Activity toward Uropathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i>
Human Ribonuclease (RNase) 6 is a monocyte and macrophage-derived protein with potent antimicrobial activity toward uropathogenic bacteria. The <i>RNASE6</i> gene is heterogeneous in humans due to the presence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). <i>RNASE6</i> rs1045922...
