Ankylosing Spondylitis
Ankylosing Spondylitis Genes Found
Work supported by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Skin Diseases has led to the discovery of two genes responsible for ankylosing spondylitis (AS), an inflammatory and potentially disabling disease of the spine. The discovery of the two genes – ARTS1 and IL23R – brings the scientific community closer to fully understanding AS,... »
NIAMS-Supported Scientists Identify Predictors of Ankylosing Spondylitis Severitys
Scientists at the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), working with researchers at sites across the country, have employed a new statistical method to identify predictors of spine damage severity in people with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). These predictors include a number of genetic markers, as well as being older at... »
