Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) genetic variants rs187084 and rs352140 confer protection from Behcet’s disease among Iranians
. Behcet’s disease (BD) is a multisystem and multifactorial autoimmune disease characterized by relapsing episodes of oral aphthae, genital ulcers, and ocular and skin lesions. Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) has pro-inflammatory roles and its genetic variants might be involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases
