Summary
Proteomic studies are crucial for discovering psoriasis biomarkers. These biomarkers aid in monitoring the disease and evaluating treatment effectiveness for this prevalent skin condition.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology and immunology, focusing on skin disorders and immune responses.
Background:
- Psoriasis is a common skin disorder with a Th17-specific immune response and genetic predisposition, but its exact cause is unknown.
- Proteomics has become integral to psoriasis research over the past two decades, aiding in understanding disease mechanisms.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the role of proteomic studies in identifying disease-specific biomarkers for psoriasis.
- To discuss the application of these biomarkers in disease monitoring and treatment evaluation.
Main Methods:
- Review of proteomic studies related to psoriasis pathogenesis and biomarker discovery.
- Analysis of proteomic data to identify differentially expressed proteins and proteome changes.
Main Results:
- Proteomic studies have revealed novel mechanisms and verified hypotheses regarding psoriasis pathogenesis.
- Significant proteome alterations and differentially expressed proteins are associated with psoriasis and treatment efficacy.
Conclusions:
- Proteomics is vital for discovering disease-specific biomarkers in psoriasis.
- Further proteomic research is needed to elucidate biomarker roles, develop clinical applications for treatment selection, and monitor therapeutic responses.

A proteome is the entire set of proteins that a cell type produces. We can study proteomes using the knowledge of genomes because genes code for mRNAs, and the mRNAs encode proteins. Although mRNA analysis is a step in the right direction, not all mRNAs are translated into proteins.
Proteomics is the study of proteomes' function. It involves the large-scale systematic study of the proteome to denote the protein complement expressed by a genome. Scientist Mark Wilkins coined the term...

Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
