Leptin gene variants rs7799039 and rs2167270 and elevated serum levels of adiponectin predispose Iranians to Behçet's disease

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold> Background:</bold> Behçet's Disease (BD) is a chronic autoimmune disease with unknown etiology. Adipokines due to their roles in the regulation of immune responses might be important in the induction and progression of BD. <bold>Subjects and methods:</bold> This case-control study included 340 patients with BD and 310 healthy controls. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ad...
