The frequency distribution of HLA-B38 and HLA-B39 was studied in a group of 50 unrelated psoriatic arthritis patients. A high increase of HLA-B39 was noted in the subgroup with axial arthropathy. All B39 positive patients presented with spondylitis and/or sacroiliitis. The hypothesis is formulated that HLA-B39 may discriminate a genetic subset of psoriatic arthritis characterized by a particular susceptibility to develop axial involvement.
对一组50名无亲缘关系的银屑病关节炎患者进行了HLA - B38和HLA - B39的频率分布研究。在伴有轴性关节病的亚组中,发现HLA - B39显著增加。所有B39阳性患者均出现脊柱炎和/或骶髂关节炎。由此提出假说:HLA - B39可能区分出银屑病关节炎的一个遗传亚组,其特征是特别易发生轴性受累。
