Altogether 83 families of probands with psoriatic arthritis and the same number of families of probands with common skin psoriasis were investigated in order to study the role of hereditary factors in the development of psoriatic arthritis and the type of its interrelationship with psoriasis. Obvious accumulation of repeated cases of this disease was observed among the probands' relatives. Genetic analysis made it possible to reject the monogenic type of inheritance of psoriatic arthritis and to prove the multifactorial nature of its inheritance confirmed in 68%. Analysis of the distribution of repeated cases of psoriatic arthritis and uncomplicated psoriasis in both types of families helped to determine a genetic correlation coefficient (0.93) indicating great similarity of the genetic systems of both types of diseases therefore they could be regarded as the clinical variants of one disease--psoriasis.

Phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) is involved in the synthesis of inflammatory cytokines that mediate several chronic inflammatory disorders, including psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. In recent years, the therapeutic armamentarium in dermatology has expanded with the introduction of PDE4 inhibitors, both in oral and topical formulations. PDE4 inhibitors have gained increasing interest due to their remarkable safety record and ease of prescription, as evidenced by the recent influx of literature detailing its off-label uses.

Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi) have revolutionized the treatment of various inflammatory and immune disorders. Concerns about the potential increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) associated with JAKi use led to a European Medicines Agency (EMA) health alert recommending restricting the use of JAKi in high-risk populations. This study aims to determine the proportion of patients who developed any cardiovascular, ischemic, neoplastic, or thrombotic adverse event in a cohort of patients receiving, or who have received, JAKi treatment between January 2017 and September 2023.
