Abstract excerpt
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS), strongly linked to human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27, lacks effective treatments for many patients despite biologics. This study investigated causal links between immune cells, inflammatory proteins, and AS to identify new therapeutic targets using genetic methods. Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was applied using large-scale genetic data. Immune cell data came from Vuckovic et...
