Shotgun metagenomics reveals an enrichment of potentially cross-reactive bacterial epitopes in ankylosing spondylitis patients, as well as the effects of TNFi therapy and the host’s genotype upon microbiome composition

Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Diverse evidence including clinical, genetic and microbiome studies support a major role of the gut microbiome in the common immune-mediated arthropathy, ankylosing spondylitis (AS). To further investigate this we performed metagenomic analysis of a case-control cohort of 250 Han-Chinese subjects. Previous reports of gut dysbiosis in AS were re-confirmed and several notable bacterial species and...
