Fetuin-A is related to syndesmophytes in patients with ankylosing spondylitis: a case control study

Abstract: OBJECTIVES:New bone formation is one of the hallmark characteristics of ankylosing spondylitis, which is thereby associated with syndesmophytes. Fetuin-A is a molecule that is abundantly found in calcified tissues and it shows high affinity for calcium phosphate minerals and related compounds. Considering the role of fetuin-A in the regulation of calcified matrix metabolism, we compared the fetuin-A levels in ankylosing spondylitis patients with syndesmophytes with those in patients without syndesmophytes and … Show more

“…AS patients with syndesmophytes have been shown to have significantly higher levels of fetuin-A compared with patients without syndesmophytes and controls [65]. However, fetuin-A levels were not different between patients without syndesmophytes and controls, and on regression analysis, fetuin-A was an independent, significant predictor of syndesmophyte formation.…”
