Abstract
ATG16L1 is closely related to apoptosis and immunity, and a decrease in its effect may favor cell death over inflammation and autophagy. This could explain the protective role of ATG16L1 (rs2241880) in our sample of smokers especially without COPD. Further confirmation is still required in other series.
