    Summary

    Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-27 is frequently observed in inflammatory arthritis, particularly ankylosing spondylitis and Reiter's disease. This study found a high prevalence in rheumatoid arthritis patients, differing from prior research.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunogenetics
    • Rheumatology
    • Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) system

    Background:

    • The Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-27 is a genetic marker associated with certain inflammatory arthropathies.
    • Previous studies have indicated varying frequencies of HLA-27 in different types of inflammatory arthritis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the frequency of HLA-27 in patients with recent inflammatory arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis.
    • To compare the observed HLA-27 frequency in rheumatoid arthritis patients with existing literature.

    Main Methods:

    • Patient cohort with recent inflammatory arthritis.
    • HLA-27 typing performed on patient samples.
    • Comparison of HLA-27 frequencies with control groups and previous studies.

    Main Results:

    • High frequency of HLA-27 observed in ankylosing spondylitis (6/7) and Reiter's disease (15/18).
    • A notable prevalence of HLA-27 was found in rheumatoid arthritis patients (22/45).
    • HLA-27 frequency in rheumatoid arthritis patients was higher than previously reported, and also higher than in control groups (46/326 and 3/34).

    Conclusions:

    • The high frequency of HLA-27 in recent rheumatoid arthritis cases may suggest early disease markers or a specific association in the Finnish population.
    • Findings challenge previous research on HLA-27 prevalence in rheumatoid arthritis.
    • Further investigation is warranted to understand the implications of high HLA-27 frequency in rheumatoid arthritis.
