Subjects and Methods: The study was carried on 40 subjects, 20 AS patients (12 males and 8 females) fulfilled the 1984 Modified New York criteria for diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis, and 20 healthy subjects, taken as control group (12 females and 8 males). A consent was taken from all subjects to share in the study.
