TL;DR: A genome-wide association study in a Japanese cohort including 612 individuals with Behçet's disease and 740 unaffected individuals (controls) identified two suggestive associations on chromosomes 1p31.3 (IL23R-IL12RB2, rs12119179, P = 2.7 × 10−8) and 1q32.1 (IL10, rs1554286).
Journal Article

Shigeaki Ohno,Satoshi Nakamura,Sadao Hori,Machiko Shimakawa,Hidetoshi Kawashima,Manabu Mochizuki,Sunao Sugita,Satoki Ueno,Kazuyuki Yoshizaki,Goro Inaba +9 more
TL;DR: Administration of infliximab in patients with Behçet's disease with refractory uveoretinitis suppressed the frequency of ocular attacks, and multiple administration was well tolerated, suggesting that inflIXimab is effective for this condition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sunao Sugita,Norio Shimizu,Ken Watanabe,Miki Mizukami,Tomohiro Morio,Yoshiharu Sugamoto,Manabu Mochizuki +6 more
TL;DR: A qualitative multiplex PCR is useful in the screening of viral infections, however, the clinical relevance of the virus infection needs to be evaluated by quantitative real-time PCR.
