Pathogenic Gene Responsible for the Predisposition to Behçet's Disease

Abstract excerpt

HLA-B51 is well known to be associated with Behçet's disease (BD) in many different ethnic groups. The hypothesis may be presented that B51 molecules are primarily involved in BD development through specific antigen presentation. Furthermore, HLA-C genotyping by the polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primers method suggests that the BD pathogenic gene is not the HLA-C gene itself but some other gene...
