Abstract excerpt
Objectives: Human leucocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27) is an important biomarker for ankylosing spondylitis (AS). However, delay in the diagnosis of AS is still common in clinical practice. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the coding gene of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) have been reported to be AS susceptibility loci. Our aim was to explore whether SNPs in TNFα could be used to improve the...
