Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Immunoregulatory genes and Gram negative gut bacteria are thought to be important in disease expression in ankylosing spondylitis (AS). OBJECTIVE: To compare the frequency of two common and functional TLR4 mutations (Asp299Gly, and Thr399Ile) between patients with AS and HLA-B27 healthy controls. METHODS: The TLR4 genotypes of patients and healthy HLA-B27 controls were determined using allele-specific...
