Genetic liability to psoriasis predicts severe disease outcomes

This study identifies genetic risk factors associated with severe psoriasis and shows that polygenic risk scores can predict severe disease outcomes better than traditional risk factors.

GWAS meta-analysis of psoriasis identifies new susceptibility alleles impacting disease mechanisms and therapeutic targets

This study performs a GWAS meta-analysis of psoriasis, identifying 109 susceptibility loci, including 45 new ones, and highlights potential therapeutic targets and disease mechanisms.
