This study aimed to investigate the association of Interleukin-12B and Interleukin-23R gene polymorphisms and haplotype distributions with Beh\u00e7et\u2019s disease in Denizli, a province of Turkey. A total of 88 patients with Beh\u00e7et\u2019s disease and 133 healthy controls were genotyped for Interleukin-12B (rs3213119, rs3213120, rs3212227, rs3213113, rs2082412) and Interleukin-23R (rs1004819, rs7517847, rs7530511, rs10489629, rs10889677) polymorphisms using polymerase chain reaction\u2013restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. Genotype, allele, and haplotype distributions were evaluated for associations with Beh\u00e7et\u2019s disease risk and clinical manifestations. The results demonstrated that the Interleukin-12B rs2082412 G allele and rs3213119 G allele were associated with increased risk of Beh\u00e7et\u2019s disease. Additionally, the Interleukin-23R rs7530511 TT genotype and rs10489629 GG genotype and G allele were significantly associated with Beh\u00e7et\u2019s disease susceptibility. Haplotype analyses revealed AAAGG and GTCAC as the most frequent haplotypes in Interleukin-12B and Interleukin-23R loci, respectively, in both patients and controls. These findings suggest that Interleukin-12B and Interleukin-23R gene polymorphisms and haplotypes may be associated with Beh\u00e7et\u2019s disease susceptibility and clinical heterogeneity in this population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms27020923","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,20]],"date-time":"2026-01-20T09:24:34Z","timestamp":1768901074000},"page":"923","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Investigation of the Relationships Between IL-12B and IL-23 Receptor Polymorphisms with Beh\u00e7et\u2019s Disease in a Turkish Population"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7987-9078","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sanem","family":"Ar\u0131kan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biophysics, Faculty of Medicine, Pamukkale University, 20160 Denizli, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Onur","family":"\u00d6zt\u00fcrk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biophysics, Faculty of Medicine, Malatya Turgut \u00d6zal University, 44210 Malatya, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ayfer","family":"Atalay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biophysics, Faculty of Medicine, Pamukkale University, 20160 Denizli, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Erol \u00d6mer","family":"Atalay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biophysics, Faculty of Medicine, Pamukkale University, 20160 Denizli, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2223","DOI":"10.2165\/11641370-000000000-00000","article-title":"Beh\u00e7et\u2019s syndrome","volume":"72","author":"Dalvi","year":"2012","journal-title":"Drugs"},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"32","article-title":"Behcet Hastal\u0131\u011f\u0131 Etyopatogenezde Guncel Bilgiler","volume":"43","author":"Akman","year":"2009","journal-title":"Turkderm"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"298","DOI":"10.3109\/08820139.2016.1153652","article-title":"The IL-8 Gene Polymorphisms in Beh\u00e7et\u2019s Disease Observed in Denizli Province of Turkey","volume":"45","author":"Atalay","year":"2016","journal-title":"Immunol.
