Abstract excerpt

The relationships between polymorphisms of the trans-membrane(TM) region located in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I chain-related gene A (MICA) and Behcet's disease (BD) have been discussed previously, however, the results were contradictory. In this study, we thoroughly assess whether MICA-TM gene variants are associated with BD by means of a systematic review and meta-analysis. Our study...
