What have genome-wide studies told us about psoriatic arthritis?

Abstract excerpt

There is convincing evidence to suggest a strong genetic component to psoriatic arthritis (PsA), with studies reporting a 40-fold risk to first-degree relatives of patients with disease. However, compared with rheumatoid arthritis, our understanding of the genetic etiology of PsA is less well-developed. Only three modestly sized genome-wide association studies of PsA have been undertaken to date, but they have...
