Yet none of the other uveitic syndromes in our original study, including Behçet’s disease, sarcoidosis, and sympathetic ophthalmia, demonstrated significant associations with the TNFA-238 and TNFA-308 loci that were independent of their HLA associations, for example, sympathetic ophthalmia with HLA-DRB1*04 [7,32,44](data not shown). Here, HLA-DRB1 is linked to Behcet disease.
