Abstract
The association of HLA-B27 with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) remains as one of the intriguing models that could exist between a molecule and human disease in medicine. Although it was reported in 1973, its contribution to AS and related spondyloarthritis continues to be a major challenge for scientific community. It is important to understand its etiopathogenic mechanism and its functions in these diseases. Although the diagnostic and prognostic roles of HLA-B27 in AS are still debated, there is an increasing interest for HLA-B27-based effects especially in HLA-B27(+) patients with AS. This review will focus in the examination of published reports regarding the influence of HLA-B27 status on the demographic and clinical features in AS, with specific interest to its role on AS severity.
