The genotypes of SNPs of the mTOR (rs1064261, rs1057079, rs11121704, rs2295080), SQSTM1 (rs10277), Ulk1 (rs11246867, rs3088051), MAP1LC3A (rs73105013) and Atg5 (rs573775) genes were determined in the AMD and in the control group (Table 3). This evidence concerns the gene MTOR and age-related macular degeneration.
