Fifty years after the discovery of the association of HLA B27 with ankylosing spondylitis [PDF]
The human lymphocyte antigen B27 (HLA B27) is a member of the HLA class I family of genes in the major histocompatibility complex whose name goes back to its discovery in studies of transplanted tissue compatibility.

Development and validation of a machine learning-based nomogram for predicting HLA-B27 expression [PDF]
Background HLA-B27 positivity is normal in patients undergoing rheumatic diseases. The diagnosis of many diseases requires an HLA-B27 examination. Methods This study screened totally 1503 patients who underwent HLA-B27 examination, liver/kidney function ...

TGFβ signaling pathway is altered by HLA-B27 expression, resulting in pathogenic consequences relevant for spondyloarthritis [PDF]
Background Association of HLA-B27 with spondyloarthritis (SpA) has been known for 50 years, but still remains unexplained. We recently showed that HLA-B27 expressed in wing imaginal disc from HLA-B27/human-β2 microglobulin (hβ2m) transgenic Drosophila ...

HLA-B27 status and inflammatory MRI lesions of the sacroiliac joints: a post hoc analysis in patients without axial spondyloarthritis [PDF]
Objective The assessment of inflammatory and structural lesions in the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) is crucial in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). HLA-B27 status plays an important role in axSpA diagnosis and has been linked to MRI lesion burden in the general

Expanding the Genetic Framework: Insights into Non-HLA-B27 Contributions to Axial Spondylarthritis [PDF]
Background and Objectives: Spondylarthritis is a complex group of inflammatory diseases closely associated with the HLA-B27 antigen. However, the role of non-HLA-B27 alleles in the disease’s pathogenesis has gained significant scholarly attention in ...

The Clinical Characteristics of Other HLA-B Types in Chinese Ankylosing Spondylitis Patients
HLA-B27 has an established relationship with the development of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). After reviewing the HLA-B genotype from 407 Chinese subjects (318 patients and 89 sex-matched controls), we found that 252 patients and 32 controls were HLA-B27(+

HLA-B27 is associated with reduced disease activity in axial spondyloarthritis
HLA-B27 is associated with increased susceptibility and disease activity of ankylosing spondylitis, but the effect of HLA-B27 on the activity of the broader category now called axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA) is apparently the opposite.
