“…The aetiology of BD is not exactly clarified yet. The diseases is endemic in Middle East, Mediterranean and Far Eastern countries with a prevalence of 13.5–500 per 100 000 population . Its incidence of BD is only 1 in 100 000 in the USA and 0.3 in 100 000 population in the UK .…”

Genetics of Behçet’s Disease

“…BD has distinctive geographical distribution, and it is found primarily in populations along the ancient Silk Route from the Mediterranean region transiting through Central Asia to East Asia [2]. The reported prevalence of BD varies between Western (0.12-7.5 per 100,000) [3] and Eastern countries (6.3-14 per 100,000) [4]. Turkey has the highest incidence of BD in general population (80-420 per 100,000) [5][6][7].…”
