Funded Activity Summary

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a common inflammatory arthritis which causes primarily back pain and stiffness, and affects 1-250 individuals. Our group identified association between tagging genetic markers in the gene IL23R and AS, and our preliminary data suggests some related genes are involved as well. This study aims to identify the key genetic variants involved and determine the mechanism by which they cause AS.
