So... the gene does not cause AS. It's just a commonality that theoretically predisposes a person to it. Dozens of other exposures are actually the cause(s). Maybe that gene just weakens the body's defenses from all the assaults the body is bombarded with regularly, including covid. There are a great many AS patients without the HLA-B27 gene, myself included. It is not a requirement, nor does it make disease activity any less ormore. In my opinion it is a travesty that it's even mentioned because that makes many people think there's nothing they can do about it and thats simply not true at all.
Regarding covid and the vaccine related to AS and other conditions. There is some investigation into evidence that covid and some of the vaccines (that are still experimental by the way) can reactivate dormant pathogens in the body, It is these dormant pathogens that are the direct causes of AS and other autoimmune conditions. There is a way to eradicate the dormant pathogens from the body. I frequently post links to free webinars full of drs explaining in great detail how to do that. Ive been working on it myself with a functional medicine dr and made enormous progress and overall health improvements with a significant reduction in disability. All without drugs, biologics and surgeries. Attached is an article that may give you better understanding about the link between covid, the vaccines, and autoimmunity.

Hi I am so sorry it did, I don’t carry the Gene it came back negative so the hospital was surprised at that, they said I must of had it when I was younger but I was so active I didn’t know,
I was told I had old AS which showed up on the MRI scan, so I think the vaccines reactived it.
