Overview

Review reveals distinct immunogenetic pathways and aberrant mediator expression in psoriasis patients, highlighting shared mechanisms with other chronic relapsing T-cell disorders.

Key Points

To review the immunopathological mechanisms, genetic factors, and cellular pathways driving different clinical phenotypes of psoriasis.
Characterized immunogenetic variations between early-onset (type I) and pustular subtypes of psoriasis.
Evaluated the role of cellular infiltration, genetic susceptibility loci, and molecular inflammatory mediators.
Type I early-onset psoriasis exhibits epidermal hyperproliferation, intraepidermal polymorphs, and strong genetic links to MHC class I haplotypes.
T-cell activation drives aberrant upregulation of regulatory cytokines, growth factors, and inflammatory lipid mediators.
Immunopathogenetic pathways in psoriasis show direct mechanistic parallels with chronic relapsing T-cell diseases such as Crohn's disease and rheumatoid arthritis.
