Aim: A genomic region on 5q33.3 lies between and encompasses the IL12B and PTTG1 genes, and contains many potential psoriasis causal variants. We aimed to further examine the influence of variants in and around this region.
Materials & Methods: We used least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO)-based regression analysis to assess independent contributions of 2171 variants to psoriasis susceptibility and tested them for association with different clinical psoriasis subtypes.
Results: We found that ADRA1B gene variants contribute to psoriasis in Chinese population. ADRA1B gene variants have a stronger association with moderate-to-severe disease group and an earlier age at onset of psoriasis than IL-12B and PTTG1 variants.
Conclusion: The association of variants in the ADRA1B gene with psoriasis could explain why variants in the IL-12B, ADRA1B and PTTG1 gene regions are associated with psoriasis.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers used various methods to analyze gene expression and develop a risk signature based on six identified genes that could predict survival and assess treatment effectiveness in THCA patients.
- * The findings indicate a significant causal link between the gene CXCL8 and THCA risk, suggesting higher expression levels could lead to worse outcomes, which was confirmed through additional experimental methods.

Aim: The aim was to build an exosome-related gene (ERG) risk model for thyroid cancer (TC) patients.
Methods: Note that, 510 TC samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas database and 121 ERGs from the ExoBCD database were obtained. Differential gene expression analysis was performed to get ERGs in TC (TERGs).
