Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Bamboo spine is the most severe complication of axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA). This study aims to address whether haplotypes of endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase (ERAP)1 and ERAP2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), previously associated with AxSpA, are associated with the development of bamboo spine in an AxSpA cohort. METHODS: The study included 192 patients with AxSpA followed in MARS...
