I posted this forum on the AS site. I thought it was important to share here too.

HLA-B27 seems to be the main gene that they test for when diagnosing someone with AS. But it seems so many people are negative.

I am negative.

Are you HLA-B27 positive or negative?

        Negative and non-radiographic. It's been a long frustrating road.
