HLA-DRB1 among patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease in Saudi Arabia.
10 Sep 2009 
PURPOSE: Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease is an immune-mediated disorder with autoimmune insult directed against antigens associated with melanocytes. The genetic predisposition among VKH has not been explored in Saudi Arabia. So, the purpose of ... Read more...
Monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 -2518 A/G SNP in Chinese Han patients with VKH syndrome.
6 Aug 2009 PURPOSE: Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome is an autoimmune disease. The monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) gene has been implicated in the pathogenesis of certain autoimmune diseases. The aim of this study was to examine whether a MCP-1 ... Read more...
