Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Large-scale genetic studies have reported several loci associated with specific disorders involving uveitis. Our aim was to identify genetic risk factors that might predispose to uveitis per se, independent of the clinical diagnosis, by performing a dense genotyping of immune-related loci. METHODS: 613 cases and 3693 unaffected controls from three European case/control sets were genotyped using the...
