Article Synopsis
  • Researchers studied the impact of onset age on genetic association results in psoriasis patients, aiming to understand inconsistencies among previous studies.
  • They divided patients into subgroups by age of onset and performed genetic analyses in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region, discovering that younger patients had more genetic risk variants.
  • The findings suggest that the age at which psoriasis begins significantly influences genetic study outcomes, indicating that careful sample selection is essential to avoid confounding factors related to onset age.
