Recent studies have described IL33 as an emerging pro-inflammatory cytokine in the immune system, and <jats:italic>IL33<\/jats:italic>\/<jats:italic>ST2<\/jats:italic> gene polymorphisms have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various immune diseases. However, the underlying mechanisms of <jats:italic>IL33\/ST2<\/jats:italic> in Behcet\u2019s disease (BD) remain to be defined. Here, we investigated the association between <jats:italic>IL33\/ST2<\/jats:italic> gene polymorphisms and BD in 585 BD uveitis (BDU) patients and 834 healthy controls using Agena MassARRAY iPLEX platform. We found that rs3821204 was associated with the development of BDU. Moreover, the frequency of rs2210463 G allele was lower in patients with genital involvement. Association analysis revealed a much greater genetic difference between complete-type and incomplete-type BD groups, including three SNPs (rs7044343, rs1048274, and rs2210463). Our findings suggest that <jats:italic>IL33\/ST2<\/jats:italic> gene polymorphisms are involved in the pathogenesis of BDU. Different genetic backgrounds may exist in complete-type and incomplete-type BD patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fimmu.2021.589639","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,25]],"date-time":"2021-03-25T06:39:25Z","timestamp":1616654365000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Genetic
