The phenotype frequency of MICA*049 (41.5% versus 8.1%, OR = 8.01, P = 1.91 × 10−8) and HLA-B*51 (46.3% versus 15.7%, OR = 4.62, P = 1.21 × 10−5) were significantly higher in BD patients than those in controls, whereas MICA*009 showed no significant difference between the two groups (17.1% versus 13.2%, OR = 1.35, P = 0.51). This evidence concerns the gene MICA and Behcet disease.
