What Actually Causes Ankylosing Spondylitis? Here's What You Need to Know Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is an inflammatory condition that primarily affects the spine and may cause persistent back pain and stiffness, especially in the morning. Although there is no single confirmed cause, genetics and immune system changes play important roles. The HLA-B27 gene is strongly associated with AS, and having a close family member with the condition may increase the risk. However, not everyone with this gene develops ankylosing spondylitis. Understanding the potential causes and recognizing symptoms early can help people seek appropriate medical evaluation and manage the condition effectively.
