Abstract excerpt

The involvement of excessive T-helper cell functions in the pathogenesis of Behçet's disease (BD) has been reported. Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) plays a role in T-cell downregulation. In this report, we investigated the possible association between BD patients and the CTLA-4 +49A/G polymorphism in Tunisian population. A total of 135 Tunisian BD patients and 151 healthy blood donors from the same...
