Contribution of HLA‐B*51:01 and ‐A*26:01 to Behçet's disease and their clinical association in Thai patients

Abstract

HLA-B*51:01 was a susceptible allele for Thai BD patients, and associated with posterior uveitis and visual impairment. HLA-A*26:01 was another susceptible allele in HLA-B*51X non-carrier patients. The protective effect of HLA-B*51:01 on arthritis needs further investigation.
