Article Synopsis
- COVID-19 vaccinations, particularly mRNA vaccines, have been linked to exacerbations of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases like psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa.
- Patients with hidradenitis suppurativa who received mRNA vaccines are 3.5 times more likely to experience disease flares compared to those who received non-mRNA vaccines.
- Additional studies are needed to confirm these findings across larger populations and to better understand the relationship between COVID-19 vaccines and other inflammatory conditions.

Article Synopsis
- * Fifteen SNPs were found significantly associated with melanoma risk, with a weighted genetic risk score (GRSGWS) showing an odds ratio of 1.36 for every standard deviation increase, indicating higher risk for individuals in the top 20%.
- * Incorporating the GRSGWS with existing phenotypic risk factors slightly improved melanoma risk prediction, raising the C-statistic from 0.764 to 0.775.
