Ankylosing Spondylitis HLA-B27 Ankylosing spondylitis b27 – Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic autoimmune disease primarily affecting the spine and sacroiliac joints, causing pain, stiffness, and potentially spinal fusion. A key genetic factor that plays a significant role in the development of ankylosing spondylitis is the HLA-B27 gene. What is…

Ankylosing Spondylitis Causes Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that primarily affects the spine and sacroiliac joints, causing pain and stiffness and potentially leading to spinal fusion over time. The exact cause of ankylosing spondylitis is not fully understood, but several factors contribute to its development. These include genetics, immune system dysfunction, environmental factors, and injuries. Here…

Ankylosing Spondylitis Diseases Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that primarily affects the spine and sacroiliac joints (located at the base of the spine). Over time, AS leads to pain, stiffness, and the potential for spinal fusion, where the bones of the spine gradually join together. This…

Ankylosing Spondylitis Gene Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease primarily affecting the spine and sacroiliac joints. The condition is largely influenced by genetic factors, with one of the most significant being the HLA-B27 gene. HLA-B27 Gene and Ankylosing Spondylitis HLA-B27 Gene: The HLA-B27 gene is a part…
