association studies is the group that confirmed HLA-B51 is connected to Behcet’s. Test results show that anticardiolipin antibodies are present in about 30% of patients. Patients also have negative antinuclear and antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibodies. Thrombosis is reportedly found in this syndrome which is associated with factor V Leiden mutations and with prothrombin g20210A mutations.
