Abstract excerpt
Behçet's disease (BD) manifests as an autoimmune disorder featuring recurrent ulcers and multi-organ involvement, influenced by genetic factors associated with both HLA and non-HLA genes, including TNF-α and ERAP1. The study investigated the susceptible alleles of both Class I and II molecules of the HLA gene in 56 Thai BD patients and 192 healthy controls through next-generation sequencing using a PacBio kit....
