Amr Sawalha and colleagues performed dense genotyping in the HLA locus followed by imputation to fine map genetic variants associated with Behçet's disease in this region. They report four independent genetic associations in the HLA region and localize the genetic association previously attributed to HLA-B*51 to a genetic variant between the HLA-B and MICA genes.
