Method for predicting radiographic severity in ankylosing spondylitis

摘要

The method for predicting the risk of an ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patient to develop radiographic severity of AS, radiographic progression of AS, a condition that is associated with the radiographic severity of AS, and/or a condition that is associated with the radiographic progression of AS, is based on the detection of at least one single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) associated with the evolution of AS. The invention can be used in the design of individualized therapy of AS patients.
