title = "Determination of beta-defensin genomic copy number in different populations: a comparison of three methods",
abstract = "There have been conflicting reports in the literature on association of gene copy number with disease, including CCL3L1 and HIV susceptibility, and {\ss}-defensins and Crohn's disease. Quantification of precise gene copy numbers is important in order to define any association of gene copy number with disease. At present, real-time quantitative PCR (QPCR) is the most commonly used method to determine gene copy number, however the Paralogue Ratio Test (PRT) is being used in more and more laboratories.",
