Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Our group previously identified a new susceptibility region linked to spondylarthritis (SpA) on chromosome 9q31-34. Fine mapping of this SPA2 locus allowed us to refine the peak of linkage to a 1.3-Mb interval. The objective of this study was to resequence most positional candidate genes lying in that region, to identify polymorphisms, and to examine their association with SpA. METHODS: Variants...
