Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate if the inheritance of specific polymorphisms of interleukin 1 (IL-1) A, IL-1B and IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RN) genes could affect the susceptibility to Behçet's disease (BD). METHODS: A total of 132 BD patients and 105 healthy controls were genotyped for IL-1A -889, IL-1B -511, -35, +5810, +5887, and IL-1RN +8006, +8061, +9589, +11,100 single nucleotide...
