M. Pimentel-Santos, F.; Ligeiro, Dário; Matos, Mafalda; Mourão, Ana F.; Costa, José; Santos, Helena; Barcelos, Anabela; Godinho, Fátima; Pinto, PatriciaIntroduction: A number of genetic-association studies have identified genes contributing to ankylosing spondylitis (AS) susceptibility but such approaches provide little information as to the gene activity changes occurring during the disease process. Transcriptional profiling generates a 'snapshot' of the sampled cells' activity and thus can provide insights into the molecular processes driving the disease pro...
