This study details a rare mother-child case of Behçet

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Genetics
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Behçet's disease is a rare multisystem inflammatory disorder.
  • Familial Behçet's disease is infrequently reported, with limited understanding of its genetic underpinnings.
  • The association of HLA-B51 with Behçet's disease is well-established, but its absence in familial cases warrants further investigation.

Observation:

  • A mother and child presented with recurrent oral ulcers, erythema nodosum, and arthralgia, consistent with Behçet's disease.
  • The mother had a positive pathergy test, while the child did not; neither exhibited gastrointestinal or central nervous system involvement.
  • Laboratory findings revealed no severe inflammatory signs and elevated immunoglobulin D levels.

Findings:

  • The mother was diagnosed with incomplete Behçet's disease, and the child with a suspicious form.

  • Shared HLA haplotypes (A24, B61, Cw1, DR8) were identified in both patients.
  • Notably, HLA-B51, typically associated with Behçet's disease, was absent in both mother and child.

    • Implications:

    • These findings highlight the potential for Behçet's disease to occur in familial clusters without the classic HLA-B51 association.
    • The presence of shared non-B51 HLA haplotypes suggests alternative genetic factors may contribute to familial Behçet's disease.
    • Comprehensive molecular genetic analysis of both HLA class I and II antigens is recommended for diagnosing familial Behçet's disease.
