The role of germline polymorphisms in the T-cell receptor in susceptibility to ankylosing spondylitis.

The role of germline polymorphisms in the T-cell receptor in susceptibility to ankylosing spondylitis.

The role of germline polymorphisms of the T-cell receptor A/D and B loci in susceptibility to ankylosing spondylitis was investigated by linkage studies using microsatellite markers in 215 affected sibling pairs. The presence of a significant susceptibility gene (lambda > or = 1.6) at the TCR...
