Atypical Thrombotic Presentation of Behçet's Disease
As Behçet's disease (BD) is a multisystem disorder that affects blood vessels, it predisposes patients to an increased risk of thrombosis. The vessels most commonly involved are those of the lower extremities, although the dural venous system may also be

Frequency of HLA-B5, HLA-B51 and HLA-B27 in patients with idiopathic uveitis and Behçet's disease: a case-control study. [PDF]
ObjectivesIdiopathic uveitis is the most common form of uveitis in most countries. Uveitis affects about 40–80% of patients with Behçet’s disease (BD). Class I, HLA-B5, and its subclass B51 allele have the strongest association with BD, but its role in ...

Retrospective analysis of cutaneous immune-related adverse events following checkpoint inhibitor therapy in melanoma patients reveals increased risk associated with the HLA-B*51:01 allele. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background While immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have shown significant efficacy, a common side effect is cutaneous immune‐related adverse events (irAEs). This study focuses on exploring the association between specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles and the development of cutaneous irAEs in melanoma patients undergoing ICI ...

Allelic variation in HLA-B and HLA-C sequences and the evolution of the HLA-B alleles [PDF]
Several new HLA-B (B8, B51, Bw62)- and HLA-C (Cw6, Cw7)-specific genes were isolated either as genomic cosmid or cDNA clones to study the diversity of HLA antigens.

Impact of HLA-B51 on uveitis and retinal vasculitis: data from the AIDA International Network Registries on ocular inflammatory disorders [PDF]
Background: Non-infectious uveitis (NIU) represents a difficult-to-manage condition characterized by intraocular inflammation that can potentially cause irreversible ocular damage, ultimately leading to a poor visual outcome.
