With this study we aim to investigate the genetic background of the disease, to deepen in its pathogenesis and to be able to establish links between genetic variations and different clinic and biologic patterns. This research is based on a multicentric study and it is led by Prof. Javier Martín from the "Instituto López-Neyra" of Parasitology, CSIC (Granada). We contribute by sending samples from our cohort of patients along with the clinical data, and reviewing the results.

We are currently enrolled in this multicentre study coordinated by Dr. Seema Kalra from University Hospital of North Staffordshire (UK). The study aims to define new diagnostic criteria for neuro-Behçet disease. A set of neurologists, rheumatologists and specialists in Internal Medicine from different countries, experts in the diagnosis and management of this disease, will try to define a new set of diagnostic criteria based on clinical expertise, and in the most new laboratory and radiology modern tests.

We are currently enrolled in this multicentre study supported by the “EULAR Sjögren’s Task  Force”  to elaborate and agree on a systemic disease activity index for patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome, that will be useful in the management of the disease. This study is coordinated by Dr. Raphaele Seror from the “Service de Rheumatologie Hôpital Bicêtre”, France.
