Heterozygosity for Crohn’s Disease Risk Allele of <i>ATG16L1</i> Protects against Bacterial Infection
2024-02-25
Abstract excerpt
The T300A substitution in ATG16L1 associated with Crohn’s Disease impairs autophagy, yet up to 50% of humans are heterozygous for this allele. Here we demonstrate that heterozygosity for the analogous substitution in mice ( Atg16L1 T316A ), but not homozygosity, protects against lethal Salmonella enterica Typhimurium infection. One copy of Atg16L1 T316A was sufficient to enhance cytokine production through in...
