Abstract excerpt

Behcet's syndrome (BS) is characterized by systemic vasculitis with unknown etiology. There is evidence that more than one mechanism underlies the pathogenesis of BS, involving genetic factors and environmental stimuli. Although human leucocyte antigen-B51 is by far the most strongly associated genetic factor to BS, it accounts for less than 20% of the genetic risk, which indicates that other genetic factors...
