HLA-B51 (B51) is an HLA-B serotype. The serotype identifies the more common HLA-B*51 gene products.[1]

B51 is a split antigen of the broad antigen B5, and is a sister serotype of B52.[2] There are many alleles within the B*51 allele group. B51 is associated with several diseases, including Behçet's disease.

Alleles

There are 71 alleles, 57 amino acid sequence variants in B51 of which 4 are nulls. Of these only 9 are frequent enough to have been reliably serotyped. B*5101 is the most common, but others have a large regional abundance.

In Behçet's disease

Behçet's disease is an

MICA*009 allele has been found to also associated with ABD when B51 is also present,[12] IL-8 and other cytokines may also be involved.[13][14] Sister chromatid exchange has also been observed more frequently in B51(+) ABD.[15]

However, B51 tends not to be found in ABD when a certain SUMO4 gene variant is involved,[16] and symptoms appear to be milder when HLA-B27 is present.[17]
