Table 1.
Basal characteristics of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and control subjects.

HLA association with AS in Taiwanese population.
Fig 1.
Interaction between HLA-B60 and HLA-B27 in ankylosing spondylitis susceptibility in a Taiwanese population with contribution of the different genes to the odds ratio (OR) marked.
1Odds ratio is calculated by unconditional maximum likelihood estimation and 95% confidence intervals are calculated using normal approximation (Wald method). 2P-value is calculated by Fisher-exact test. AS: ankylosing spondylitis; CI: confidence interval; No: number of individuals; OR: odds ratio.

Difference in the scores of BASDAI, BASFI, and BAS-G among AS patients stratified by different HLA-B27/ HLA-B60 genotype.
