Reference range/Unit	[Whole Blood] Negative
Clinical Significance	This syndrome due to multisystem chronic inflammatory disease of blood vessels has variable presentation of recurrent mouth ulcers, genital ulcers, inflammation of the eye (Uveitis), and gastrointestinal symptoms. HLA-B*51:02 shows the strongest association with the disease, but it is not diagnostic. The disease distribution is worldwide but clusters in the area that extends from Eastern Asia to the Mediterranean region (Silk Route disease).
