Abstract excerpt
Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1) gene polymorphisms have been implicated in the susceptibility to inflammatory diseases. The expression of both soluble and tissue ICAM1 were increased in Behçet's disease (BD) but the contribution of ICAM1 gene polymorphisms to this disease remains unknown. We sought to establish the association of ICAM1 gene K469E polymorphism in exon 6 with susceptibility for BD. One...
