متن کاملAnalysis of HLA-B15 and HLA-B27 in spondyloarthritis with peripheral and axial clinical patterns.
OBJECTIVE Human leucocyte antigen (HLA) B27 and HLA-B15 are associated with spondyloarthritis (SpA). Recent Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society (ASAS) criteria emphasise a distinction between SpA with axial and peripheral patterns. We analysed whether HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-DRB1 alleles could associate with these patterns. METHODS We studied 100 healthy individuals and 178 pat...
