TL;DR: The results provide strong support for the association of at least seven genetic loci and psoriasis (each with combined P < 5 × 10−8) and suggest priority targets for study in other auto-immune disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is reported that patients with CD of the ileum have reduced antibacterial activity in their intestinal mucosal extracts, and changes in HD5 expression levels, comparable to those observed in CD, had a pronounced impact on the luminal microbiota.
Journal ArticleDOI
NOD2 (CARD15) mutations in Crohn's disease are associated with diminished mucosal alpha-defensin expression.

TL;DR: As alpha defensins are important in the mucosal antibacterial barrier, their diminished expression may explain, in part, the bacterial induced mucosal inflammation and ileal involvement of Crohn’s disease, especially in the case of NOD2 mutations.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies and independent data sets genotyped on the Immunochip identified 15 new susceptibility loci, increasing to 36 the number associated with psoriasis in European individuals, and identified five independent signals within previously known loci.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis.
TL;DR: Psoriasis patients appear to be at higher risk for diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease, which could likely be due to the effects of chronic inflammatory changes, in particular the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines.
