Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: We investigated whether polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter region of TNFA, or in the autoinflammatory TNFRSF1A and MEFV genes, concur with HLA-B27 in enhancing the risk of Spondyloarthritis (SpA) and/or in predicting the response to anti-TNFα treatment. METHODS: 373 controls and 137 SpA (82 with Psoriatic Arthritis-PsA and 55 with Ankylosing Spondylitis- AS; 98/137 under TNFα inhibitor therapy) from...
