If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

Actually there is an emerging picture of AS and the mechanism through ERAP1, IL23, HLAB27 and IL 17 Hi Drizzit I'd be interested to read some of the latest stuff that they are researching as it sounds very interesting. Do you have any links or articles? Also are they finding out the nuts and bolts of how AS works once triggered or do they think that the disease is mostly just genetics?

Hi jroc,
Genome wide studies are being used to identify the genetic factors involved in SpA's. It's then upto immunolgists to try and elucidate the functional mechanisms and the interdependencies of these gene products in order explain AS.
The latest genome wide study identified 2 chromosmal loci for which no gene is yet identified.
