Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is a type of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-related vasculitis. Autophagy-related gene 7 (ATG7) protects against complicated disorder states in model organisms, but the way ATG7 dysfunction contributes to MPA remains elusive. This investigation assessed the impacts of ATG7 singlenucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) in China. A total of 211 controls and 214 MPA patients were recruited and analyzed. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and high-throughput sequencing were adopted to detect the ATG7 SNPs (rs75492008, rs2594966, rs6...
