Association analysis between the MIC-A and HLA-B alleles in Japanese patients with Beh�et's disease

Abstract: These results imply that the real disease susceptibility gene involved in the development of Behçet's disease is the HLA-B*51 allele itself and that the significant increase of the MIC-A009 allele in the patient group results secondarily from a strong linkage disequilibrium with HLA-B*51.

“…HLA-B51 antigen has been well-known genetic factor associated with BD. The prevalence of this antigen in BD appears to be higher in countries adjacent to the ancient silk road including Korea (10,34,35). In the present series, the frequency of HLA-B51 in BD group was significantly higher than that in SpA group.…”

“…HLA-B51 may be the strongest indicator that certain genes are directly responsible for BD (11,15). Prominent association of HLA-B51 with BD in many different ethnic groups was reported (3,13,14).…”

“…[26][27][28] Also, MICA006 (MHC class I chain related gene A) gene, which lies directly beside the HLA-B51 gene on chromosome 6, was found in ABD patients. 29,30 It is unknown whether the gene product has a pathological effect or it enables an autoimmune reaction triggered by a pathogen similar to HLA-B, so that it is not detected and eliminated by the immune system. One example is the retinal S antigen, a retinal protein that is found only after tissue destruction following uveitis and triggers T-cell response.…”
