Complement factor H (CFH)

184G rs800292 showed increased risk with non-infectious intermediate and posterior uveitis but not in VKH.

Tyrosinase gene family

No significant association in polymorphisms of microsatellites loci in tyrosinase gene family was found in Japanese VKH patients.

Interferon gamma

No significant association in polymorphism of interferon gamma gene was found in Japanese VKH disease.

NLR family, pyrin domain containing 1 (NLRP1)

NLRP1 gene polymorphisms related to vitiligo were not associated with the risks or clinical manifestations of VKH disease.

Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) gene

No significant association between TLR9 polymorphisms and VKH disease was found in VKH patients.

Transforming growth factor β receptor (TGF- β)

Two SNPs of type III TGF-β receptor, rs1805110 and rs2489188, showed no association with VKH disease.

Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) gene

rs310230 GG genotype, rs310236 GG genotype, and rs310241 TT genotype were found in lower frequencies in VKH patients than controls. However, no significant link between the three SNPs and clinical manifestations of VKH disease was identified.
