BD patients were divided into two subtypes according to the consensus clustering method: one with high disease activity in association with higher expression of tripartite motif-containing 5 (TRIM5), SH2 domain-containing 1A (SH2D1A), phosphoinositide-3-kinase adaptor protein 1 (PIK3AP1), hematopoietic cell-specific Lyn substrate 1 (HCLS1), and DNA fragmentation factor subunit alpha (DFFA) and the other with low disease activity in association with higher expression of C–C motif chemokine ligand 11 (CCL11). The gene discussed is PIK3AP1; the disease is Behcet disease.
