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). Here, SQSTM1 is linked to age-related macular degeneration.
