Data are expressed as [allele]; allele frequency; number of informative families; P value.

*Significant P value after Bonferroni correction. (Because eight tests [four haplotypes and two models] were carried out in the haplotype-based association testing [HBAT]-e analyses, P < 0.00625 [0.05/8] is considered statistically significant.) AS, ankylosing spondylitis; NS, not significant.
