Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder with high heritability but with complex genetics. Apart from HLA-B27, most of the underlying genetic components remain to be identified. We conducted a whole-genome high-density non-parametric linkage analysis to identify new genetic factors of susceptibility to SpA. METHODS: 914 subjects including 462 with SpA from 143 multiplex families were...
