10 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
Susceptibility to ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is polygenic with more than 100 genes identified to date. These include HLA-B27 and the aminopeptidases (ERAP1, ERAP2 and LNPEPS), which are involved in antigen processing and presentation to T-cells, and several genes (IL23R, IL6R, STAT3, JAK2, IL1R1/2, IL12B and IL7R) involved in IL23 driven pathways of inflammation. AS is also strongly associated with polymorphisms...
