Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Spondyloarthritis (SpA) represents a heterogeneous group of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases that have overlapping clinical features, genetic predisposition, and pathogenic mechanisms. Hence, we investigated, through a case-control study, whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms of TNF and IL17 genes are associated with SpA, ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and psoriatic arthritis (PsA)...
