Abstract excerpt
ATG16L1 is a ubiquitous autophagy gene responsible, in part, for formation of the double-membrane bound autophagosome that delivers unwanted cellular debris and intracellular pathogens to the lysosome for degradation. A single, nonsynonymous adenine to guanine polymorphism resulting in a threonine to alanine amino acid substitution (T300A) directly preceded by a caspase cleavage site (DxxD) causes an increased...
