Background Psoriasis is a systemic immune disease associated with the development of various cancers. However, the causal nature of this association remains unclear. This study aims to systematically investigate the potential causal relationship between psoriasis and 32 types of cancer.Methods We utilized data from two large genomic databases, the UK Biobank and FinnGen, to extract GWAS summary statistics for 32 cancer types as outcomes and psoriasis-related data as exposures.

Background In recent years, the prevalence of uveitis among patients with psoriasis has shown a noticeable upward trend. Previous studies have investigated the immunological mechanisms underlying the potential connection between psoriasis and uveitis, but systematic studies exploring their bidirectional relationship is absent. This study aims to systematically evaluate the bidirectional association between psoriasis and uveitis to provide evidence.Methods We thoroughly searched PubMed, Embase, a

Background Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA), an immune mediated inflammatory arthritis, affects a quarter of patients with cutaneous psoriasis, usually after psoriasis onset. Early diagnosis of PsA is challenging. A biomarker-based diagnostic test may facilitate early diagnosis.Objectives We aimed to determine whether specific clinical features or genetic and protein markers, alone or in combination, can distinguish patients with PsA from those with psoriasis without PsA (PsC).Methods Patients with PsA
