Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The contribution of HLA and the IL23R-IL12RB area (rs1495966)) as the genetic factors for the pathogenesis of Behcet’s disease (BD) was examined. In Korean BD the association of HLA-A*2601 allele with the ocular involvement was observed (p<0.05), as the same as in Japanese BD. Moreover, the A*0207 allele was associated with the skin involvement in Korean BD (p<0.05). In Japanese, the increase of A*0207 was observed in the patients without both A*2601 and B*5101 (OR=2.82). The A*0207 was also increased in Thai patients without the both alleles. These findings suggest the possibility that the A*0207 allele is the third susceptibility allele of BD. On the other hand, the rs1495866 was associated with BD independently from HLA (p<0.05). The calculation of the free energy charge for the binding between HLA and MICA-TM peptide (AAAAAIFVI) indicated that the HLA alleles (A*2601 & B*5101) associated with BD bind strongly by 7-11 Kcal/mol comparing to the alleles without association.
