Spondyloarthropathy risk factors
Since the role of genetic in the presence of spondyloarthropathies have been known since several years ago, genetically predisposing individuals are who have HLA-B27 gene, are at risk of developing spondyloarthropathies.
The risk of developing spondyloarthropathies in individuals with HLA-B27 gene is 1-2%, however, it can increase to 15-20% if he/she have a first-degree relative with positive HLA-B27 gene and developed spondyloarthropathy.
There some genes that are suspicious for their association in SpA.
