HLA and psoriasis (with or without arthropathy)

M Milani-Comparetti, P Diotallevi, C Cervini

    Summary

    Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) B16 and B17 are associated with psoriasis. A proposed gene interaction model explains why some individuals develop psoriasis without HLA markers and why some relatives with markers remain unaffected.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunogenetics
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition with a complex genetic basis.
    • Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) genes are known to influence immune responses and are associated with various autoimmune diseases, including psoriasis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the association of HLA-A, -B, and -C antigens with psoriasis.
    • To propose a genetic model explaining the observed HLA associations and inheritance patterns in psoriasis.

    Main Methods:

    • Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) typing for HLA-A, -B, and -C antigens was performed on 30 probands with psoriasis (with or without arthropathy) and their relatives.
    • Statistical analysis was used to determine associations between specific HLA markers and psoriasis.
    • A hypothetical genetic model was developed to explain observed inheritance patterns.

    Main Results:

    • Association of HLA-B16 and HLA-B17 with psoriasis was confirmed.
    • Approximately one-third of probands did not carry any identifiable HLA-A, -B, or -C marker.
    • Among probands with at least one HLA-B marker, 50% of their affected siblings carried the marker, while the other 50% were healthy.

    Conclusions:

    • The study confirms the association of HLA-B16 and HLA-B17 with psoriasis.
    • A proposed gene interaction model involving HLA and a hypothetical psoriasis susceptibility gene (Ps) may explain the incomplete penetrance and variable HLA association observed in psoriasis.
    • This model helps account for affected individuals without known HLA markers and unaffected relatives who possess these markers.
