Psoriatic arthritis, axial&nbsp;spondyloarthritis&nbsp;(SpA)&nbsp;and&nbsp;nonradiographic&nbsp;axial&nbsp;SpA, reactive arthritis,&nbsp;enteropathic&nbsp;arthritis and undifferentiated&nbsp;SpA&nbsp;are all inflammatory diseases that fall under &ldquo;SpA.&rdquo;&nbsp;Subtypes&nbsp;of&nbsp;the disease&nbsp;share clinical and immunological features, including joint inflammation; skin, gut and eye manifestations; and the absence of diagnostic autoantibodies; genetic factors are also&nbsp;shared by the diseases.&nbsp;&nbsp;The cause of&nbsp;SpA&nbsp;is still a subject of numerous research projects, but the research that has been done shows a clear role for the IL-17 pathway in the pathogenesis of&nbsp;SpA, according to a review study in&nbsp;Nature Reviews Rheumatology.&nbsp;&nbsp;<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
