This study aimed to investigate the predisposition of common pre-miRNA SNPs with Behcet's disease (BD), Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome and acute anterior uveitis (AAU) associated with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). A two-stage association study was carried out in 859 BD, 400 VKH syndrome, 209 AAU(+)AS(+) patients and 1,685 controls all belonging to a Chinese Han population. Genotyping, the expression of...
