A member asked:
What does it mean if i'm hla-b27 positive? i have severe hip pain- does it have to do with this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Susceptibility to: Some disorders. People who have the hla b-27 antigen are more prone to some diseases, e.G, ankylosing spondylitis. It does not mean the person has it, just that person is more likely to have some inflammatory disorders, including inflammation of joints.
