Human leukocyte antigen-B27 alleles in Xinjiang Uygur patients with ankylosing spondylitis

H. - Y. Zou, Yu, W. - Z., Wang, Z., He, J., and Jiao, M., Human leukocyte antigen-B27 alleles in Xinjiang Uygur patients with ankylosing spondylitis, vol. 14, pp. 5652-5657, 2015.

We investigated the distribution of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27 subtypes in Uygur ankylosing spondylitis patients in Xinjiang. B27-positive patients with ankylosing spondylitis were subtyped by using polymerase chain reaction-sequence-based typing. The HLA-B27 subtype frequencies of Uygur patients were compared with those in Han patients in Xinjiang and the other areas of China. B*2705 was the predominant subtype in Uygur patients with a frequency of 58.95%, which was much higher than that in Han patients in Xinjiang (31.58%, P
