Abstract

OBJECTIVES:
Behçet’s disease (BD) is an immune-mediated and complex disease which has been associated with HLA class I molecules although other genes such as IL23R and IL10 have also been involved in the susceptibility to BD. Recently, an association of variants of the JAK1 and TNFAIP3 genes with the disease has been reported in the Chinese Han population. The aim of the present work was to asses whether the association described in Asian populations is replicated in Europeans.
METHODS:
This study includes a total of 1155 Spanish subjects of European origin (372 BD and 783 unrelated healthy individuals). Patients were recruited from different hospitals and controls were collected in the same geographic regions and they matched with patients in age and gender. A total of five SNPs, two in the JAK1 gene: rs2780815 and rs310241 and the other three in the TNFAIP3: rs10499194, rs9494885 and rs610604, were included in this study. The genotyping of these SNPs was performed using a real time PCR system (TaqMan® SNP Genotyping Assays).
RESULTS:
No statistically significant differences were found when the patient and control groups were compared. The distribution of the risk alleles was similar in patients with and without eye manifestations and in patients with and without HLA-B*51.
CONCLUSIONS:
The association of variants of the genes JAK1 and the TNFAIP3 with BD which has been described in the Chinese population was not replicated in Europeans.
