Genetic markers for psoriatic arthritis among patients with psoriasis. Part II: HLA genes

Year: 2021
Type: article
Abstract: Psoriatic arthritis often leads to the development of severe outcomes ankylosis, deformities of the affected joints with severe impairment of their functions and disability. Early identification of patients with psoriasis with an increased risk of developing psoriatic arthritis for the purpose of its timely diagnosis and early initiation of therapy can prevent the development of severe disease outcomes. It is believed that the genes of the HLA system make the greatest individual genetic contribution to the formation of a predisposition to hereditary diseases with polygenic inheritance. The literature review considers the polymorphisms of the genes of the HLA system, associated with the development of psoriatic arthritis, in patients with psoriasis. The HLA alleles that contribute to the development of psoriatic arthritis and its individual forms have been identified. HLA alleles have been identified, which have a protective effect against the development of psoriatic arthritis.
