In this study, we showed that the HLA-B*35 allele could be a potential risk factor for developing peripheral arthritis, but not for tenosynovits and enthesitis in patients with the undifferentiated axial form of spondyloarthritis. This result may influence the follow up of these patients, especially since it gives us an opportunity to consider the use of different types of DMARDs in the treatment of these patients.
