There
are two genes that may increase the risk of ankylose spondylitis. This
disease can cause inflammation in the joints between vertebrae and can lead to
bone erosion and the fusion of bones in the spine. It could not only lead to
early diagnosis but would also facilitate more effective treatment. “The
identification of these genes points the way very clearly to new methods of
suppressing inflammation in ankylose spondylitis. It is a very exciting discovery.
Clinically, these diseases tend to occur together people with inflammatory
bowel disease also tend to have a higher probability of having ankylose
spondylitis and psoriasis. One gene, IL23R, provides a genetic link that sheds
new light on their co-occurrence. going to the source of the problem, this
study has found a way to suppress the inflammation to prevent arthritis or
other inflammatory conditions as well.
