Behçet's disease is known to be associated with HLA-B51 in many different populations.

This study was aimed to determine the HLA-B51 nucleotide sequence variation in three Behçet's disease patients and three healthy controls in order to elucidate if any disease specific mutations or polymorphisms may...
