摘要: Although the etiology of Behcet’s disease (BD) remains uncertain, genetic and environmental factors likely both play an important role in BD development. is strongly associated with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I allele, HLA-B*51, many different ethnic groups. However, presence HLA-B*51-negative patients suggests that other and/or are also development BD. Several variations have been recently identified as susceptibility for BD, especially help genome-wide association studies. Those findings provide new insights into pathophysiology allowing a clearer interpretation molecular level, translation those may lead to more accurate diagnostic tools effective treatment approaches
