PurposeOur aim was to investigate whether major histocompatibility complex (MHC) polymorphisms are associated with response to infliximab therapy in Japanese patients with Behçet uveitis (BU).MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed 24 patients (17 men and seven women) treated with infliximab for BU. Of them, ten patients were genotyped asHLA A*2601, and nine asHLA B*5101. Therapeutic response levels in the two groups were compared based on ocular attacks and the Behçet disease ocular attack score 24 (BOS24) over 24 months of treatment.ResultsMean frequencies of ocular attacks at 13–18 and 19–24 months after the start of treatment were significantly higher in theHLA A*2601group (P= 0.0392 and 0.0177, respectively). Mean BOS24-6 M values for months 1–6, 7–12, 13–18, and 19–24 were also significantly higher in theHLA A*2601group (P= 0.0459, 0.0150, 0.0394, and 0.0178, respectively). Shortening of the infusion interval was required in eight patients in theHLA A*2601group but in one only in theHLA B*5101group. Behçet-disease-related adverse events occurred in eight patients in theHLA A*2601group and two in theHLA B*5101group. Nonocular adverse events occurred in four patients in theHLA A*2601group and none in theHLA B*5101group.ConclusionsAlthough mean change from baseline in the number of ocular attack scores in theHLA A26andHLA B51groups seemed to be similar, theHLA-A26group had a more severe disease course under infliximab therapy for ocular/extraocular involvement. These data suggest that response to infliximab therapy in Japanese patients with BU is partly due to genetic determinants in the HLA complex.
