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.
