Frequencies of immunoglobulin G (Gm) allotypes were determined in 240 patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). The uncommon phenotype Gm(1,2;21) was increased in frequency in 55 patients with AS and peripheral arthritis (14.5% v 3.5% of healthy blood donors; p less than 0.05). In 16 patients with arthritis only of wrist/hand or ankle/forefoot, or both, the Gm(1,2;21) frequency was even higher (31.3%; p less than 0.0005). Patients with AS negative for the HLA antigen B27 (n = 28) differed from the B27 positive patients (n = 205) with regard to the frequency of the Gm(1,2,3;5,21) phenotype (39.3% v 9.3%; p less than 0.0005). These findings support the notion of genetic heterogeneity among patients with AS.
测定了240例强直性脊柱炎(AS)患者免疫球蛋白G(Gm)同种异型的频率。55例患有AS和外周关节炎的患者中,罕见表型Gm(1,2;21)的频率增加(占健康献血者的14.5%,而健康献血者中为3.5%;p<0.05)。在仅患有腕部/手部或踝部/前足关节炎或两者皆有的16例患者中,Gm(1,2;21)频率甚至更高(31.3%;p<0.0005)。HLA抗原B27阴性的AS患者(n = 28)与B27阳性患者(n = 205)在Gm(1,2,3;5,21)表型频率方面存在差异(39.3%对9.3%;p<0.0005)。这些发现支持了AS患者存在遗传异质性的观点。
