SUMO4 SUMO4:c.438C>T Pleiotropy  Presence of papulopustular lesion  P=0.006  The C438T polymorphism in the SUMO4 gene is associated with significantly increased risk of papulopustular skin lesions in HLA-B51-positive patients.more more
SUMO4:c.438C>T Pleiotropy  Vascular involvement  P=0.045  The C438T polymorphism in the SUMO4 gene is associated with significantly increased risk of papulopustular skin lesions in HLA-B51-positive patients.more more
MEFV MEFV:c.2080A>T(p.Met694Leu) Expressivity  Risk factor  Carriers experience thrombosis more often [54% vs. 17%, p<0.005, odds ratio (OR) = 6.9, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.75–26.9] and uveitis less often (20% vs. 40%, p<0.05, OR=0.2, 95% ci 0.04–0.92)  The three most common MEFV mutations (M694V, V726A, and E148Q) may predispose to development of Behcet's disease with increased risk for venous thrombosis.more more
MEFV:c.2177T>C(p.Val726Ala) Expressivity  Risk factor  Carriers experience thrombosis more often [54% vs. 17%, p<0.005, odds ratio (OR) = 6.9, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.75–26.9] and uveitis less often (20% vs. 40%, p<0.05, OR=0.2, 95% ci 0.04–0.92)  The three most common MEFV mutations (M694V, V726A, and E148Q) may predispose to development of Behcet's disease with increased risk for venous thrombosis.more more
MEFV:c.442G>C(p.Glu148Gln) Expressivity  Risk factor  Carriers experience thrombosis more often [54% vs. 17%, p<0.005, odds ratio (OR) = 6.9, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.75–26.9] and uveitis less often (20% vs. 40%, p<0.05, OR=0.2, 95% ci 0.04–0.92)  The three most common MEFV mutations (M694V, V726A, and E148Q) may predispose to development of Behcet's disease with increased risk for venous thrombosis.more more
