identified five mitochondrial autophagy-associated DEGs (GABARAPL2, SP1, USP8, RELA, and TBC1D17) by hybridizing vitiligo differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with mitochondrial autophagy-associated genes, suggesting that mitochondrial autophagy may promote vitiligo by activating immune infiltration (129). The gene discussed is TBC1D17; the disease is vitiligo.
