Abstract
Psoriasis is a common, immunologically mediated, inflammatory and hyperproliferative disease of the skin and joints, with a multifactorial genetic basis. We earlier mapped PSORS1, the major psoriasis susceptibility gene in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), to within or very near HLA-Cw6. In an effort to identify non-MHC psoriasis genes, we carried out a collaborative genome-wide association study. After the initial follow-up genotyping of 21 single nucleotide polymorphisms from 18 loci, showing strong evidence of association in the initial scan, we confirmed evidence of association at seven loci. Three of these loci confirm earlier reports of association (HLA-C, IL12B, IL23R) and four identify novel signals located near plausible candidate genes (IL23A, IL4/IL13, TNFAIP3 and TNIP1). In other work, we have also shown that interferon-γ (IFN-γ) treatment induces interleukin (IL)-23 mRNA and protein in antigen-presenting cells (APC), leading to the proliferation of CD4+ and CD8+ memory T cells expressing IL-17. Although functional variants remain to be identified, we speculate that genetic variants at the IL4/IL13 locus contribute to the Th1 bias that is characteristic of psoriasis, that Th1-derived IFN-γ supports expansion of IL-17+ T cells through APC-derived IL-23 and that negative regulation of inflammatory signaling through the NF-κB axis is impaired because of genetic variants of TNFAIP3 and TNIP1.
