In this regard, polymorphisms on ATG5, ATG10 and ATG16L1 have been associated with Paget’s disease of the bone [146], and SNPs in ATG5 and ATG7 have been extensively studied in the context of systemic lupus erythematosus [147,148,149,150,151,152,153]. This evidence concerns the gene ATG5 and systemic lupus erythematosus.
