Abstract excerpt
The distribution of B27 alleles (B*2701-23) was characterized by PCR-SSP in ankylosing spondylitis and related spondyloarthropathies (SpA) in a sample of B27 positive patients from northern Spain. Six B27 alleles were identified: B*2705,02,03,07,08 and B*2713. B*2705 and 02 were the most common alleles in the SpA studied: ankylosing spondylitis (AS) (n = 89), reactive arthritis (ReA) (n = 11), psoriatic arthritis...
