Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between transporter associated with antigen processing(TAP) gene and ankylosing spondylitis(AS) as well as HLA-B27. METHODS: PCR-SSO was used to analyze the frequencies of TAP alleles and variant amino acids of TAP in 48 patients (B27(+)) with AS and 123 normal individuals (B27(+) or B27(-)). RESULTS: The phenotypes of Ile/Ile, Asp/Asp were over-presented for TAP1 and...
