Abstract excerpt

15 east Austrian patients (EUC) with HLA-B27-negative ankylosing spondylitis (AS) were tissue-typed for HLA-B-antigens. HLA-B-alleles of the B27-CREG (B7, B13, Bw22, B40) were found in 14/15 patients (= 93,3%; RR = 37,8; Chi2 = 23,21; p less than 0.05) of this group. We may postulate a common par...
