Ankylosing spondylitis met the 1987 modified New\u00a0York criteria, and non-radiographic axSpA met the 2009 ASAS criteria. Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis\u00a0(DISH), palmoplantar pustulosis arthritis\u00a0(PAO), and osteitis condensans\u00a0ilii\u00a0(OCI) were identified by characteristic imaging and clinical findings. Two rheumatologists reassigned final diagnoses. HLA-B phenotypes, age at onset, sex, and initial C-reactive protein\u00a0(CRP) were compared across groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 25 patients satisfied axSpA criteria; 80% were HLA-B27-positive. DISH, PAO and OCI showed apparent enrichment of common Japanese alleles (B52, B61\/B62, B39). DISH and PAO presented later than axSpA (54.0\u00a0y and 42.5\u00a0y versus\u00a025.2\u00a0y) and DISH had lower CRP (0.31 versus\u00a01.51\u00a0mg\/dL, P\u2009=\u20090.003). OCI occurred exclusively in women and was CRP-negative.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In Japanese practice, no single non-B27 allele reliably separates axSpA from its mimics; instead, early age at onset, male sex, and raised CRP provide the most practical safeguards
