Associations between major histocompatibility complex class I chain-related gene A polymorphisms and susceptibility to Behcet's disease. A meta-analysis.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this work was to investigate whether major histocompatibility complex class I chain-related gene A (MICA) polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to Behcet's disease (BD). METHODS: A meta-analysis was conducted on the associations between the MICA-transmembrane (TM) A6 allele and the 009 allele of MICA exon 2-4 (MICA*009) and BD with or without HLA-B51 overall and in each ethnic...
