Summary The strong association of the human leukocyte antigen B∗27 alleles (HLA-B∗27) with spondyloarthritis and related rheumatic conditions has long fascinated researchers, yet the precise mechanisms underlying its pathogenicity remain elusive. Here, we review how interplay between the microbiome, the immune system, and the enigmatic HLA-B∗27 could trigger spondyloarthritis, with a focus on whether HLA-B∗27 presents an arthritogenic peptide.
