Description

  • Provides comprehensive information on Behçet´s disease
  • Covers the latest findings, including genetic studies and treatment
  • An essential resource for both basic researchers and clinical physicians?

This book, besides reviewing basic and clinical aspects of Behçet´s disease, covers the latest findings, including genetic studies and treatment with biologics for the disease.
Although the cause of Behçet´s disease is still unknown, it is well known that genetic factors, such as HLA-B51, are involved in its development. Recently, novel susceptibility loci including IL10, IL23R-IL12RB2, and endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 have been identified, providing new insights into the pathogenesis of the disease. In addition to basic research, the beneficial efficacy of anti-TNF-alpha monoclonal antibodies has also been suggested for not only uveitis associated with the disease but also other subtypes of the disease such as entero-, vasculo-, and neuro- Behçet´s disease. Behçet´s Disease:  From Genetics to Therapies  provides essential information both for basic researchers working in the fields of immunology, inflammation, and genetics, and for clinical physicians who are interested in Behçet´s disease, such as ophthalmologists, rheumatologists, dermatologists, gastroenterologists, neurologists, and vascular surgeons.?
