摘要: None of MICA microsatellite alleles was significantly increased in Tunisian BD patients. Only HLA-B51 primarily associated to this population. These data, similar those found other ethnics6,9, further support the hypothesis that amino-acids, common all encoding and absent HLA-B antigens, probably confer high affinity binding for peptides may contribute development. However, possibility contributes pathogenesis as an additional or complementary risk factor cannot be excluded.
