In humans, it has been reported that the majority of Lewy bodies (~80%) composed of α-syuclein in the SNpc of PD patients were strongly immonoreactive for LC3 (24), and similar observation for LC3 immunoreactivity was observed in Lewy bodies of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) patients (57). The gene discussed is MAP1LC3A; the disease is Lewy body dementia.
