Abstract

Human leukocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27) is a molecule of class I major histocompatibility complex. Numerous studies showed an association of the antigen with various types of spondyloarthropathies. The strength of this association varied considerably among racial and ethnic groups. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of occurrence of polymorphic variants of HLA-B27 gene in individuals residing in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
