Investigating the Genetic Association Between ERAP1 and Spondyloarthritis
Background/Purpose: A robust association was recently identified between polymorphisms in the non-major histocompatibility complex gene ERAP1 and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in several populations. The aim…Abstract Number: 598 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Non-Synonymous Polymorphism IL23R Arg381Gln Is Associated with Ankylosis in Spondyloarthritis
Background/Purpose: Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a group of articular disorders sharing genetic background. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of the interleukin 23 receptor (IL23R) gene have been reproducibly…
