Daniel Kastner and colleagues report genome-wide association analyses for Behçet's disease, a condition characterized by episodic inflammation of the skin and eyes and an important cause of blindness. They identify four loci newly associated with Behçet's disease, an epistatic interaction between HLA-B*51 and ERAP1 and overlap with loci previously associated to related inflammatory disorders.
