Gene polymorphisms as predictors of response to biological therapies in psoriasis patients

文摘
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune skin disease, characterized by the formation of erythematous scaly plaques on the skin and joints. The therapies for psoriasis are mainly symptomatic and sometimes with poor response. Response among patients is very variable, especially with biological drugs (adalimumab, etarnecept, infliximab and ustekimumab). This variability may be partly explained by the effect of different genetic backgrounds. This has prompted the investigation of many genes, such as FCGR3A, HLA, IL17F, IL23R, PDE3A-SLCO1C1, TNFα and other associated genes, as potential candidates to predict response to the different biological drugs used for the treatment of psoriasis. In this article, we will review the influence of gene polymorphisms investigated to date on response to biological drugs in psoriasis patients.
