Remarkable polymorphism of HLA-B27: an ongoing saga.

Current rheumatology reports - 1 Oct 2010

Khan Muhammad Asim

Abstract excerpt

Histocompatibility antigen HLA-B27 is a normal gene that is distributed worldwide with variable prevalence and shows a remarkable association with ankylosing spondylitis and related spondyloarthropathies. The precise biological explanation for this remarkable association remains elusive. HLA-B27 represents a family of closely related proteins encoded by an ever-increasing number of alleles; there are 75 alleles...
