HLA-B27 has an established relationship with the development of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). After reviewing the HLA-B genotype from 407 Chinese subjects (318 patients and 89 sex-matched controls), we found that 252 patients and 32 controls were HLA-B27(+) and that HLA-B27:04 was the dominant HLA-B27 subtype ( = 224). In all participants, HLA27:04 homozygous were only detected in two patients. In the HLA-B27(+) group, HLA-B40 was observed in 51 cases and one control ( < 0.05, OR = 7.87, 95% CI 1.05-59.0); of these, the most genotype was HLA-B27:04/B40:01( = 38). Two hundred thirty-nine patients' clinical information was recorded. Cases with HLA-B27/B46 had more peripheral joint involvement (OR = 3.95, 95% CI 1.77-8.79) in HLA-B27(+) AS. HLA-B15:02 may be a significant risk element to peripheral joint involvement ( < 0.05) in HLA-B27(-) patients. Therefore, we believe HLA-B40:01, HLA-B46:01, and HLA-B15:02 can be the test indicators for AS diagnostic value.

: The nuclear factor (NF)-kB essential modulator (NEMO) has a crucial role in the NFκB pathway. Hypomorphic pathogenic variants cause ectodermal dysplasia with immunodeficiency (EDA-ID) in affected males. However, heterozygous amorphic variants could be responsible for Incontinentia Pigmenti (IP) in female carriers.

: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic progressive inflammatory process of the axial skeleton and sacroiliac joints (SIJ). Symptoms typically appear between the ages of 20 and 40, although there are also cases of juvenile-onset AS. This suggests that most patients with AS are of reproductive age at the time of diagnosis.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disease that primarily affects the sacroiliac joints and axial skeleton. While the exact pathogenetic mechanism of AS remains unclear, previous reports have highlighted the involvement of genetic factors, immune responses, and gut microbiota dysregulation in the development of this condition. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which are microbial fermentation products derived from sugar, protein, and dietary fibers, play a role in maintaining the intestinal barrier function and reducing inflammatory responses.

Objective: To describe the incidence rates of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and tuberculosis (TB) in Korean patients with ankylosing spondylitis receiving biologics.
Methods: Data from a Korean claims database between 2010 and 2021 was used to calculate crude incidence rates of TB and IBD using number of events and total patient-years (PYs).
Results: Overall, 43 643 and 43 396 patients were included in TB and IBD cohorts.

Objective: This study aimed to analyze and compare the proportion of patients with different types of inflammatory arthritis and investigate the clinical characteristics, including symptoms and signs, medication choices, and disease activity, in the daily clinical practice of China.
Methods: Patients with inflammatory arthritis were recruited from 16 Grade-A tertiary hospitals between August 2021 and April 2022. The medical profiles, encompassing sociodemographic characteristics, clinical and laboratory date, were collected.
