Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion #1 AS Web Support Group HLA B27: unknown?

Hiya,

B27 +ve does not rule out AS or Spondyloarthropathy, it just adds points on an overall score for AS or a sister condition. B27 -ves are more likely to have another of the sister conditions Inflammatory Bowel Disease, or Psoriasis etc.

Average of diagnosis in B27 with B27 -ve status is around 40.

Good Luck

David
