DEAR EDITOR, People with Down syndrome (DS), the condition caused by trisomy 21 (T21), display increased prevalence of several autoimmune conditions relative to the general population, including autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), celiac disease, autoimmune skin conditions and arthropathies [1]. Although it is now well established that T21 causes hyperactivation of IFN and downstream Janus kinase (JAK) signalling [2, 3], the therapeutic value of this observation remains to be defined. Here, we describe the first reported case of an individual with DS who was effectively treated with the JAK inhibitor tofacitinib as a first-line therapy for severely debilitating PsA.Although tofacitinib is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of PsA in the typical population, it is considered less effective than first-line targeted agents that inhibit TNF-a, IL17, IL12 and/or IL23 signalling [4]. However, given that T21 causes elevated IFN and JAK signalling, we reasoned that tofacitinib would be a preferable first-line treatment for PsA in DS. Informed consent for research was obtained in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and specific consent obtained for this report. This study was approved by the Colorado Multiple Institutional Review Board. This patient is a 27-year-old woman with DS, psoriasis, hypothyroidism, celiac disease and a history of self-resolving atrial septal defect. The participant initially presented to her primary care physician (PCP) with left shoulder joint pain that persisted despite exercise, ibuprofen and heat therapy. Her exam and workup were largely unremarkable except for high levels of CRP. With continued conservative management, her joint pain worsened over four months to involve her left hand, elbow and knee, especially in the morning, resulting in mobility limitations that caused her to be homebound. As the signs of arthritis worsened, so did her psoriasis.
