The objective was to determine the role of the TAP 1 gene in influencing the phenotype of disease in adult patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). The distribution of TAP 1 gene alleles was determined using the PCR RFLP method and restriction enzymes Bcl I and Acc I. The study population included 115 HLA-B27 positive patients with well-documented AS and 41 HLA-B27 positive normal controls. No significant...
