Investigation of the association of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome with IL23R-C1orf141 in Han Chinese Singaporean and ADO-ZNF365-EGR2 in Thai

摘要

Background We performed a multistage genome-wide association study of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome in a Han Chinese population and identified two novel non-human leukocyte antigen candidate regions previously. The aim of the study was to replicate the association of IL23R-C1orf141 and ADO-ZNF365EGR2 with VKH syndrome in four sets of multinational populations in Asia.
