    Although the etiopathogenesis of Behcet's disease is not known, studies conducted in different populations show that it is a multifactorial disease that is thought to develop as a result of the interaction of environmental and genetic factors. IL-17 is thought to induce the neutrophilic inflammation and the tissue damage mediated by immune response in patients. Polymorphisms in the gene region encoding IL-17 and IL-17R molecules may play a critical role in the pathogenesis of the disease and contribute to the elucidation of disease mechanism. We aimed to show the association of IL-17A, IL-17F, and IL-17RC polymorphisms and haplotypes in Behcet's disease patients and its clinical features. We genotyped IL-17A (rs4711998 (A/G), rs8193036 (C/T), rs2275913 (A/G), rs3819025 (A/G), rs8193038 (A/G), rs3804513 (A/T), rs1974226 (C/T), rs3748067 (C/T)); IL-17F (rs763780 (T/C), rs2397084 (T/C)); and IL-17R (IL-17RC) (rs708567 (C/T)) polymorphisms in 88 patients with Behcet's disease and 133 healthy controls using PCR-RFLP-based approach. The results of our study showed that polymorphisms of IL-17A, rs8193036 (C/T), rs3819025 (G/A), rs3804513 (A/T), IL-17F rs2397084 (T/C), and IL-17RC rs708567 (C/T) are associated with the susceptibility to the BD. When the haplotype distributions of all loci of IL-17Aand IL-17A/IL-17F together were examined and in contrast to the data obtained from the controls, the GTGGAACC (27.84%) and GTGGAACCTT (25.57%) have the highest frequencies. In conclusion, the allele and genotype frequency differences of the IL-17A, IL-17F, and IL-17R and haplotype frequencies between Behcet's disease and controls indicate that the genetic structure of Behcet's disease may be different.
