Abstract
Polymerase chain reaction in combination with sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes were used to analyze nine HLA-B27 subtypes among 51 healthy HLA-B27 positive Danish blood donors and 30 Danish HLA-B27 positive patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). In the group of healthy Danes we found two subtypes, B*2705 (90.2%) and B*2702 (9.8%), however, among the AS patients only the B*2705 subtype was detected. We did not find a significant evidence for associations between AS and a particular HLA-B27 subtype in a Danish population.
