Abstract excerpt
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a rheumatoid arthritis, which is a common autoimmune disease with a complex genetic etiology. Although HLA-B27 has been identified to be associated with AS, a number of other genes may also be involved in the disease. Fc receptor-like 3 (FCRL3) gene has been shown to be associated with rheumatoid arthritis in Japanese population. Here we aim to explore the association FCRL3 gene and...
