Background: Deregulation of autophagy is involved in the development and progression of Parkinson’s disease. ATG7, an E1 like enzyme, palys a key role in autophagy. This study aimed to investigating the association between ATG7 polymorphisms and PD susceptibility.
Methods: Single nucleotide polymorphisms of ATG7, including rs7625184 and rs2606750, were identified by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism in a Han Chinese population consisting of 312 PD patients and 309 healthy controls.
Results: Genotyping analyses showed that none of the 2 SNPs was significantly associated with PD risk.
Conclusions: Our results suggest that rs7625184 and rs2606750 are not associated with PD susceptibility. Further studies are warranted in revealing the links between ATG7 and PD.
