Behçet's disease - Causes, consequences and treatments

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Scientific researchers have discovered 4 new regions on the human genome which are associated with Behcet's disease. Indeed, scientists have found an integral association between Behcet's disease and genes called ERAP1 codes, CCR1 gene, the KLRC4 gene and the STAT4 gene. Genetic factors are thought to play a role in susceptibility to Behcet's disease, with the human leukocyte antigen B-51 gene region of the genome, accounting for about 20% of genetic risk for the disease. Researchers have been aware of the HLA B-51 association for about 40 years. Subsequently, researchers have identified gene associations at two other specific chromosome locations. Behcet's disease is characterized by a triple-symptom complex genital ulcers, uveitis and oral aphthuous ulcers. Ahead of all, Behcet's disease is known to be a painful and critical condition found predominantly in people with ancestors along the Silk Road...
