SPONDYLOARTHROPATHY, SUSCEPTIBILITY TO, 1; SPDA1

Alternate names

SPONDYLOARTHROPATHY, SUSCEPTIBILITY TO, 1; SPDA1 Is also known as ankylosing spondylitis, susceptibility to, marie-strumpell spondylitis, bechterew syndrome

Description

Spondyloarthropathy (SpA), one of the commonest chronic rheumatic diseases, includes a spectrum of related disorders comprising the prototype ankylosing spondylitis (AS), a subset of psoriatic arthritis (PsA), reactive arthritis (ReA), arthritis associated with inflammatory bowel disease, and undifferentiated spondyloarthropathy (Miceli-Richard et al., 2004). These phenotypes are difficult to differentiate because they may occur simultaneously or sequentially in the same patient. Studies have suggested that a predominant shared component, including HLA-B27, predisposes to all phenotypic subsets, and that these subsets should be considered as various phenotypic expressions of the same disease (Said-Nahal et al., 2000, Said-Nahal et al., 2001).Braun and Sieper (2007) provided a detailed review of ankylosing spondylitis, including clinical features, pathogenesis, and management. Genetic Heterogeneity of Susceptibility to SpondyloarthropathyAdditional susceptibility loci for spondyloarthropathy have been identified on chromosome 9q31-q34 (SPDA2 ) and chromosome 2q36 (SPDA3 ).

Most common symptoms of SPONDYLOARTHROPATHY, SUSCEPTIBILITY TO, 1; SPDA1

  • Pain
  • Kyphosis
  • Arrhythmia
  • Photophobia
  • Arthritis
