In addition, the meta-analysis revealed a significant association between the ICAM-1 G241R R allele and Behcet's disease</span> (B</span>D) (OR = 3.261, 95% CI = 1.653-6.434, p = 0.001), but not giant cell arteritis.
This meta-analysis suggests that the K469E polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to vasculitis, and that the G241R polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to BD and RA.
