Dermatomyositis

Increased Risk of Dermatomyositis in Patients with Psoriasis: A Retrospective Cohort Study




Purpose


This study aimed to investigate the risk of dermatomyositis among patients with psoriasis in a large population.

Patients and Methods


Individuals aged ≥20 years with records in the TriNetX database from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2022 were included. Diagnoses of psoriasis, non-psoriasis, dermatomyositis, and associated comorbidities were established using the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code. Patients who were diagnosed with dermatomyositis before the index date were excluded. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed in a 1:1 ratio between the psoriasis group and non-psoriasis group. Kaplan–Meier curves were used to determine the cumulative incidence of dermatomyositis, and the Cox proportional hazard model was used to estimate the hazard ratio between the two groups.

Results


After PSM, 301018 individuals were included in the psoriasis and non-psoriasis groups, respectively. A higher risk of dermatomyositis was identified in patients with psoriasis than in those without (HR: 2.41, 95% CI: 2.01–2.89). This elevated risk was further confirmed in various subgroup analyses. Specifically, patients with PsA exhibited a higher incidence of dermatomyositis than those without PsA (HR, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.32–2.28). Patients treated with interleukin-17 inhibitors (IL-17i) showed a significantly higher risk of developing dermatomyositis compared to those naïve to biological agents (HR, 5.79; 95% CI, 1.57–21.31). In the European, Middle East, and Africa network and Asia-Pacific network, the risk of dermatomyositis in patients with psoriasis was higher than that in patients without psoriasis (HR (95% CI): 4.77 (1.40–16.10) and 2.50 (1.33–4.66), respectively).

Conclusion


This study revealed a higher risk of dermatomyositis in patients with psoriasis than in those without. The psoriatic patients with PsA or those who had received IL-17i treatment demonstrated a significantly higher risk of developing dermatomyositis.

Genetics role in ovarian cancer

The Medical Minute: Genetics play big role in ovarian cancer In 2024, about 19,680 women in the United States will receive a new diagnosis of ovarian cancer and 12,740 women will die from the disease, said Dr. Shaina Bruce , a gynecologic oncologist at Penn State Cancer Institute . The median age of all patients who develop ovarian cancer is 63. Historically, women at increased risk for ovarian cancer are recommended to have their fallopian tubes and ovaries removed when they have completed having children. Taking that step to protect themselves comes at a heavy price ― surgical menopause. But Bruce said medical science is catching up with ovarian cancer. Studies could lead to new methods for preventative care and the surgery needed to lower risk may be easier than it once was. Below, during Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month, Bruce discusses the disease and why acting to reduce your risk is worth it. What’s the connection between heredity and ovarian cancer? About 25% of all cases of ...

Migration in Population Genetics

  Migration in Population Genetics Migration in population genetics refers to the movement of individuals-and therefore their genes -between different populations of the same species. This gene flow alters allele frequencies, increasing genetic diversity within populations while reducing genetic differences between them. Migration can counteract the effects of genetic drift and inbreeding , introduce new alleles , and influence evolutionary processes such as adaptation and natural selection. The rate, direction, and scale of migration play a crucial role in shaping population structure, evolutionary potential, and long-term species survival, especially in fragmented habitats or changing environments.

Chromosomal Abnormalities

  Chromosomal Abnormalities Chromosome abnormalities refer to structural or numerical changes in chromosomes that can disrupt normal genetic function, leading to developmental disorders, congenital abnormalities, and various genetic diseases. These abnormalities may arise from errors in cell division, such as nondisjunction or chromosomal breakage, resulting in conditions like Down syndrome , Turner syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome , and various deletion or duplication syndromes. Understanding chromosome abnormalities is essential for genetic counseling, prenatal diagnosis, disease risk assessment, and research in cytogenetics and molecular genetics.
