Studying the dynamics of such networks is in general hard, both analytically and by simulation. In particular, stationary distributions of stochastic reaction networks are only known in some cases. We analyze class properties of the underlying continuous-time Markov chain of CRNs under the operation of join and examine conditions such that the form of the stationary distributions of a CRN is derived from the parts of the decomposed CRNs. The conditions can be easily checked in examples and allow recursive application. The theory developed enables sequential decomposition of the Markov processes and calculations of stationary distributions. Since the class of processes expressible through such networks is big and only few assumptions are made, the principle also applies to other stochastic models. We give examples of interest from CRN theory to highlight the decomposition. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27 plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of AS. TNF polymorphisms have been reported to be associated with AS susceptibility, but the results of these previous studies have been inconsistent. The aim of this study was to explore whether TNF polymorphism is associated with AS susceptibility in HLA-27-positive population. Our search was done in the Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane databases (up to March 2020). The pooled and individual odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of the minor allele of each locus were presented to assess the associations between TNF polymorphisms and AS in HLA-B27-positive population. Ten studies from 8 articles were included in this meta-analysis. In the population of HLA-B27-positive patients
