Clin Rheumatol. 1996 Jul;15(4):382-4. doi: 10.1007/BF02230362.

Abstract

Two sisters with documented Adamantiadis-Behçet's disease of different severity, associated with HLA-B51, are described. Although the overall incidence of this complex disease is not different between sexes, only 4 female siblings, versus 14 male, that fulfill the 1990's International Study Group for Behçet's Disease criteria have been reported in the literature.
