ARPE‐19 cells were chosen for follow‐up experiments since they are one of the key cells in the pathogenesis of VKH disease and pigment is thought to play an antigenic role in VKH development.[8, 10] These results suggested that OR11H1 might play an important functional role in the development of uveitis. Here, OR11H1 is linked to Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease.
