Abstract excerpt
Genes in autophagy pathway play an important role in innate and adaptive immunity. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of ATG16L1 gene on susceptibility of palmoplantar pustulosis. Four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the ATG16L1 region (rs2241880, rs2241879, rs7587633, and rs13005285) were genotyped in 241 control subjects and 38 palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) patients of Estonian descent....
