Comprehensive analysis of the association between UBAC2 polymorphisms and Behçet’s disease in a Japanese population

Abstract Behçet’s disease (BD) is reportedly associated with polymorphisms of the ubiquitin-associated domain containing 2 (UBAC2) gene in Turkish, Italian, and Chinese populations. Here we investigated whether UBAC2 polymorphisms were associated with BD in a Japanese population. Using data from 611...
