Medical Research Breakthroughs and Graves Disease

New Genetic possibilities in Psoriasis: Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease wherein the skin is attacked by ones own immune system. Patients with psoriasis commonly develop psoriatic arthritis which is a painful and debilitating arthritic condition additionally characterized by pitting or complete loss of fingernails. Many factors are involved in this condition and is very complex at the genetic level. Research has shown that a few but common DNA differences are important in the development of psoriasis. Although each variation makes only a small contribution to the disease, patients usually have a number of different genetic variations that increases their risk of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Recent new studies have shown that seven new sites of common DNA variation have been discovered that increase the risk of psoriasis. Some of these variations, in one area of the genome, link psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis to other autoimmune disorders. The study showed that the DNA variations that were located on chromosome 4 were strongly linked to psoriatic arthritis. These variations were also associated with type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, Grave's disease and celiac disease.These variations convey that different biological pathways could be responsible for psoriasis on a basic level. This study may lead to new targeted drugs and treatments that attack specific pathways.
