Summary It is obvious that over the period an enormous amount of information concerning SpA and HLA-B27 has accumulated, and this has been reflected in the knowledge of molecular mechanism of the spondyloarthropathies. This book aims to synthesize this knowledge and presents the various studies concerning the basic research of SpA
