Abstract excerpt

Despite the strength of the association of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) with HLA-B27, other genetic elements could play a possible role in the pathophysiology of AS. Because of the localization, in the proximity of the HLA-B locus, and the involvement of heat shock proteins (HSP) in the immune res...
