Psoriasis (PS) and psoriatic arthritis (PSA) are inter-related heritable diseases. Psoriatic skin is characterized by hyperproliferative, poorly differentiated keratinocytes and robust mononuclear inflammation. Psoriatic joints are characterized by highly inflamed synovia and entheses with focal erosions of cartilage and bone. Recent genetic analyses have uncovered risk factors shared by both PS and PsA. With respect to common variation, the HLA class I region is the locus that predisposes most strongly to PS and PsA. Other risk factors implicate the IL23 pathway and the induction/regulation of Th17 cells in the pathogenesis of both diseases. Elaboration by cytokines such as IL22 and IL could result in the hyper-proliferative phenotype of keratinocytes and potentially synoviocytes, leading to the vicious cycle of proliferation/inflammation in both the skin and joints. In synovial tissue, disease-related cytokines may also lead to RANK ligand dependent osteoclast formation leading to bone erosion. Genetic risk factors leading specifically to PsA need to be identified. Therapies targeting TNF have frequently been highly successful in the treatment of both diseases, and genetic findings are likely to lead to the development of additional treatments tailored to an individual’s genetic profile.
