The original reference for each patient PFP genotype is shown in the first column as a superscript. Amino acid conservation is derived from the amino acid sequence alignment of mammalian and flounder perforins, as in PredictProtein28  (EMBL-Heidelberg). PFP indicates perforin; ?, unknown domain; and NR, not reported.
