"[The association observed between TAP alleles and RS is independent of the presence of HLA-B27, and despite the physical proximity of TAP and HLA class II genes, linkage disequilibrium does not account for the observed associations between TAP and RS. Thus, TAP genes are genetically separated but functionally linked to class I genes, and both contribute to susceptibility to RS.].
