Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic and systemic seronegative inflammatory spondyloarthropathy, an autoimmune disease that has been associated with impaired Endoplasmic Reticulum Aminopeptidase (ERAP)-1 activity, which is involved in priming antigenic peptides. The purpose of this study is to investigate the association of 3-UTR of ERAP1 gene polymorphism (rs13167972) with the AS occurrence...
