AxSpA is primarily a genetic disease
- clusters in families, especially HLA-B27+ first degree relatives
- genetic testing for asymptomatic relatives not recommended

Dr. Deodhar reminds us of his "3,4,5 rule" for diagnosing AS.
*Erosions in 3 or more SIJ quadrants
*BME in 4 or more SIJ quadrants
*Fat lesions in 5 of more SIJ quadrants
