HLA-B27 associated reactive spondyloarthropathies in a Dutch military hospital.
Forty-two male patients with reactive spondyloarthropathies in a Dutch military hospital are described with mean age of onset 21.9 years. Peripheral arthritis or sacroiliitis was present in all, eye symptoms in 21 (50%), and genitourinary disease in 15 (35.7%). Evidence of antecedent sexually acquired or enterocolitic infection was found only in three (7.2%). HLA-B27 antigen was detected in 34 ...
متن کاملAcute anterior uveitis and HLA-B27 subtypes.
The tissue antigen HLA-B27 is found in 50% of Dutch acute anterior uveitis (AAU) patients. The prevalence of HLA-B27 in the normal population is only 8%. However, only approximately 1% of HLA-B27+ individuals will develop AAU. Therefore, it is possible that the disease is associated with a particular B27 subtype. We typed lymphocytes of 36 B27+ AAU patients, of which 20 also had ankylosing spon...
متن کاملPrevalence of HLA-B27 and subtypes of HLA-B27 associated with ankylosing spondylitis in Galicia, Spain.
OBJECTIVE To assess the prevalence of HLA-B27 and its subtypes in both the normal population and in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) in Galicia, Northwest Spain. METHODS The prevalence of HLA-B27 in the normal population was determined by checking the number of HLA-B27 positive samples in 308 subjects from different areas of Galicia who had donated organs over a period of 4 years. A ...

متن کاملPolymorphism of HLA-B27: 105 subtypes currently known.
HLA-B27 has a high degree of genetic polymorphism, with 105 known subtypes, named HLA-B*27:01 to HLA-B*27:106, encoded by 132 alleles. The most common subtypes associated with ankylosing spondylitis are HLA-B*27:05 (Caucasians), HLA-B*27:04 (Chinese), and HLA-B*27:02 (Mediterranean populations). For Chinese populations, HLA-B*27:04 is associated with a greater ankylosing spondylitis risk than H...
