| Summary: | 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. |
