Abstract excerpt
We investigated two nonsynonymous variants (rs30187 and rs27044) of ERAP1 gene in HLA-B27 positive individuals (150 spondyloarthritis and 108 controls) and in general ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients (n = 137) vs random controls (n = 139). Both single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were associated with the risk of spondyloarthritis [odds ratio (OR) 1.80, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.24-2.62, P = 0.001 for...
