ATG5 and Parkinson disease: Recent genome-wide association studies, next-generation sequencing, and exome sequencing have associated several genetic variants with sporadic PD, including leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2), the lysosomal β-glucocerebrosidase (GBA) gene, the microinsertion in the promoter of the ATG16L1 gene, and promoters plus SNP variations within introns in the ATG5 gene [3,4,5,6].
