  Genetic signature to provide robust risk assessment of psoriatic arthritis development in psoriasis patients

  Approximately 30% of psoriasis patients develop psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and early diagnosis is crucial for the management of PsA. Here, Patrick et al. develop a computational pipeline involving statistical and machine-learning methods that can assess the risk of progression to PsA based on genetic markers.

  Dense genotyping of immune-related susceptibility loci reveals new insights into the genetics of psoriatic arthritis

  Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory arthritis with a significant genetic component. Here, the authors analyse immune-related genetic markers in 1,962 PsA patients and 8,923 controls to identify novel PsA risk loci and highlight distinct genetic differences between psoriasis and PsA.
