In an interview posted on the website, illumina.com, Dr. Matthew Brown discusses ankylosing spondylitis research and more.
Dr. Brown is with the main genetics
center for an international consortium
termed the ‘Australo-Anglo-American
Spondyloarthritis Consortium’ (TASC). For more information on TASC, click here.
While discussing ankylosing spondylitis research, Dr. Brown states, "For many years people had thought that ankylosing spondylitis was actually a single-gene disease caused by the HLA-B27. As part of the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium, we completed one of the first non-synonymous SNP genome-wide association studies. That study identified the first two genes, other than actual HLA-B27, that are involved in the disease."
