The Second International Simmons Center Conference on HLA-B27-Related Disorders presented a number of new observations related to the molecular biology of the HLA-B27 molecule, its functional biology as a peptide-binding molecule, and the clinical implications of the association of B27 with the spondylarthropathies, as well as new clinical information concerning these diseases. As a result of the rapid developments in these fields, new insights into the pathogenesis of the B27-related spondylarthropathies will emerge.
