May 2021
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between HLA classes I and II and psoriasis in Brazilian patients, aiming to identify specific markers associated with the disease and its severity.
- Findings show that HLA-B*57 and HLA-C*06 are significantly more prevalent in psoriasis patients compared to controls, particularly in those with arthritis and severe disease manifestations like erythroderma and hospitalizations.
- The most common haplotype linked to the disease was HLA-A*02 B*57 C*06 DRB1*07 DQB1*03, suggesting a potential genetic predisposition for patients with psoriasis.
