Genetic Association of HLA-A*26, -A*31, and -B*51 with Behcet's Disease in Saudi Patients.

CONCLUSION: This study suggests that HLA-A*26, -A*31, and -B*51 are associated with susceptibility risk to BD, while HLA-B*15 may be protective in Saudi patients. However, larger scale studies are needed to confirm these findings. PMID: 27547040 [PubMed]
