BEHСET'S DISEASE: ETHNOS AND FAMILIAL AGGREGATION
https://doi.org/10.14412/1995-4484-2016-244-246
Abstract
Familial aggregation (repeated cases of the disease in the families of probands) is considered as an argument in favor of the genetic nature of Behсet's disease (BD). The results of a survey of 180 patients with BD in three ethnic groups indicated that there were repeated cases of recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) in 54 (30%) families: more commonly among Dagestanis (n =32), less commonly in Chechens (n = 12) and Russians (10). Thus, the relatives of the RAS proband should be included in a group at risk for BD.
