Core Tip	There is growing evidence of the role of innate immunity in diabetes To our knowledge our data provide the first report on a complex investigation of defensin-α and defensin β-1 in type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The main conclusion of our manuscript is, that the elevated HNP1-3 levels in diabetes are independent of the DEFA1/DEFA3 copy numbers, but the GG genotype of C-44G SNP in the DEFB1 gene may result in a decreased level of defensin β-1 production. Our data support the view that both alpha and beta-defensins may have an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetes and diabetic complications.
