Causes of Ankylosing
spondylitis:-
The cause of Ankylosing Spondylitis is unknown. It’s likely
that genes (passed from parents to children) and the environment both play a
role. The main gene associated with the risk for Ankylosing Spondylitis is
called HLA-B27. Having the gene doesn’t mean you will get Ankylosing
Spondylitis. Fewer than 1 of 20 people with HLA-B27 gets Ankylosing Spondylitis.
Scientists recently discovered two more genes (IL23R and ERAP1) that, along
with HLA-B27, carry a genetic risk for Ankylosing Spondylitis.
