Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFRSF) and their ligand (TNFSF) gene are associated with susceptibility to Behcet's Disease (BD) in Chinese Han. A two-phase case-control study was performed in 1055 BD patients and 1829 healthy controls. A total of 27 SNPs was tested using MassARRAY iPLEX (R) technology. Data were analyzed using a Chi-square (chi 2) test and Fisher's exact calibration test. The Bonferroni correction was applied for multiple testing. A statistically significant higher frequency of the A allele and a lower frequency of the G allele of rs1800692 was found in BD (Pc = 0.013, OR = 1.233, 95% CI = 1.103-1.379: Pc = 0.013, OR = 0.811, 95% CI = 0.725-0.907, respectively). Our findings indicate that TNFRSF1A might confer genetic susceptibility to BD in a Chinese Han population.
