    Abstract:
    Behcet's disease (BD) is one of the most vision-threatening clinical entities of uveitis. Although the etiopathogenesis of BD remains obscure, accumulating evidence has demonstrated that both genetic and environmental factors may contribute to the development of BD. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and candidate association studies have identified several genetic variants strongly associated with BD, including variants in human leukocyte antigen (HLA) -A02, -A03, -A24, -A26, -A31, -B15, -B27, -B35, -B49, -B51, -B57, -B58, -C0704, CIITA, ERAP1, MICA, IL1A-IL1B, IL10, IL12, IL23R, IL-23R/IL-12RB2, IL1RL1-IL18R1, STAT4, TFCP2L1, TRAF5, TNFAIP3, CCR1/CCR3, RIPK2, ADO-ZNF365-EGR2, KLRC4, LACC1, MEFV, IRF8, FUT2, CEBPB-PTPN1, ZMIZ1, RPS6KA4, IL10RA, SIPA1-FIBP-FOSL1, VAMP1, JRKL/CTCN5, IFNGR1 and miRNA-146a. Epigenetic modifications are also reported to play essential roles in the development of BD, including DNA methylation and histone modification. We review here the recent advances in the genetic and epigenetic factors associated with the BD pathogenesis.
