OBJECTIVE: Alterations in antigen processing have been proposed to play a significant role in the pathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). A non-major histocompatibility complex gene encoding an endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase, ERAP1, has been implicated recently. This study assessed 13 coding single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 5 genes involved in antigen processing (ERAP1, TAP1, TAP2, LMP2, and...
