Results of linkage analysis of 28 microsatellite markers spanning the SPA2 locus.

Analysis was carried out in 149 independent families with multiple cases of spondyloarthritis. Three markers previously studied in a subset of 120 of these families appear in bold [13]. Markers were placed according to ENSEMBL database. Zlr statistics were calculated by multipoint analysis with ALLEGRO program. Markers within frames are those for which positive linkage was detected with P<0.05, after correction for multiple testing.
