Ankylosing Spondylitis: a trade Off of HLA-B27, ERAP, and pathogen interconnections? Focus on Sardinia [PDF]
The frequency of HLA-B27 in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is over 85%. There are more than 170 recognized HLA-B27 alleles but the majority of them is not sufficiently represented for genetic association studies.

Expression analysis of HLA-E and NKG2A and NKG2C receptors points at a role for natural killer function in ankylosing spondylitis [PDF]
Background. Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a complex chronic inflammatory disease strongly associated with the majority of HLA-B27 alleles. HLA-E are non-classical MHC class I molecules that specifically interact with the natural killer receptors NKG2A ...

Single-Cell Genetic Mapping of Gasdermin Expression Across Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases. [PDF]
This figure illustrates the lineage‐specific causal effects of gasdermin (GSDM) expression on the risk of eight immune‐mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs). The analysis, based on single‐cell genetic data, shows how GSDMA, GSDMB, and GSDMD affect disease risk in various immune cell types, highlighting distinct protective or risk‐enhancing roles in ...

Sex differences in medication discontinuation in axial spondyloarthritis.
Objective We examined sex differences in medication discontinuation among patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) initiating tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi), interleukin‐17 inhibitors (IL‐17i), or Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi). Methods Using data from the Rheumatology Informatics System for Effectiveness (RISE) Registry (2003–2025), we ...

Seronegative spondyloarthropathies : a review : part II: genetics and pathogenesis [PDF]
In none of the spondyloarthropathies is the pathogenesis well understood. Much of the investigation into the aetio-pathogenesis of these diseases has focused on the association with HLA-B27 and the known triggering potential of certain infectious agents.
