Based on Molecular Profiling of Gene Expression, Palmoplantar Pustulosis and Palmoplantar Pustular Psoriasis Are Highly Related Diseases that Appear to Be Distinct from Psoriasis Vulgaris

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: There is a controversy surrounding the existence of palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) and palmoplantar pustular psoriasis (PPPP) as separate clinical entities or as variants of the same clinical entity. We used gene expression microarray to compare gene expression in PPP and PPPP. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Skin biopsies from subjects with PPP (3), PPPP (6), psoriasis vulgaris (10) and acral skin...
