Crohn's spondylitis: a family study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of HLA B27 negative Crohn's spondylitis with a detailed study of the proband's family, including tissue types of all living relatives. The family included cases of psoriasis, psoriatic spondylitis, and idiopathic ankylosing spondylitis. We believe this to be the first report of these associated diseases occurring in one family. All relatives were B27 negative, including one with psoriatic spondylitis. The aetiological implications of these findings are considered.

Quantitative sacroiliac scintigraphy in ankylosing spondylitis and Crohn's disease: a single family study.
A single family is presented in which 2 of the 3 sibs and 3 of 9 first degree relatives had Crohn's disease. Two subjects with Crohn's disease had classical ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and HLA typing revealed HLA B27 in all 5 members of the immediate family. The value of quantitative sacroiliac scintigraphy (QSS) in clinical practice is demonstrated. Both patients with AS had evidence of curre...
متن کاملHL-A 27 in Crohn's disease.
There has been recent interest in the association between human leucocyte antigen-27 and ankylosing spondylitis. Brewerton, Caffrey, Hart, James, Nicholls, and Sturrock (1973) and Schlosstein, Terasaki, Bluestone, and Pearson (1973) demonstrated this antigen in 96% and 87% of ankylosing spondylitics, respectively, as compared with about 5%in normal controls. It is well known that recurrent Reit...
متن کاملAssociation of Variants at 1q32 and STAT3 with Ankylosing Spondylitis Suggests Genetic Overlap with Crohn's Disease
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a common inflammatory arthritic condition. Overt inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) occurs in about 10% of AS patients, and in addition 70% of AS cases may have subclinical terminal ileitis. Spondyloarthritis is also common in IBD patients. We therefore tested Crohn's disease susceptibility genes for association with AS, aiming to identify pleiotropic genetic associ...
