The vast majority of patients with positive HLA-B27 will not develop an associated syndrome. [2] The relationship between HLA-B27 and many diseases has not yet been fully elucidated. Though HLA-B27 is associated with a wide range of pathology, it does not appear to be the sole mediator in the development of disease.
Those with the HLA-B27 variant are at a higher risk than the general population of developing the disorder. HLA-B27, demonstrated in a blood test, can occasionally help with diagnosis, but in itself is not diagnostic of AS in a person with back pain. Over 85% of people that have been diagnosed with AS are HLA-B27 positive, although this ratio ...
HLA region of Chromosome 6. The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system is a complex of genes on chromosome 6 in humans that encode cell-surface proteins responsible for regulation of the immune system. [1] The HLA system is also known as the human version of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) found in many animals. [2]

A person may test positive because they are still shedding viable virus, or it could be viral debris that is being picked up by the test, says Amesh A. Adalja, M.D., senior scholar at the Johns ...
Reactive arthritis is associated with the HLA-B27 gene on chromosome 6 and by the presence of enthesitis as the basic pathologic lesion [16] and is triggered by a preceding infection. The most common triggering infection in the US is a genital infection with Chlamydia trachomatis.
