“…Only a limited number of studies have evaluated genetic loci specifically associated with PsA, PsC and the differences between PsA and PsC. To date only 15 polymorphisms in twelve genes outside the MHC region have been reported to render differences in susceptibility between the two phenotypes, including IL23R (rs2201841, rs12044149) [ 11 , 12 , 15 ], FBXL19 (rs10782001) [ 16 ], IL12B (rs2082412) [ 11 , 17 ], ZNF816A (rs9304742) [ 17 ], CCR2 (rs1799864) [ 18 ], CSF2 (rs715285) [ 19 ], PTPN22 (rs2476601) [ 12 , 20 ], IL13 (rs1800925, rs20541, rs848) [ 21 – 23 ], TNFRSF9 (rs4908742) [ 12 ], LCE3A (rs10888503) [ 12 ], TNFAIP3 (rs9321623) [ 12 ], and KIR2DS2 [ 24 ]. Among these, only associations to PTPN22 (rs2476601) [ 12 , 20 ], IL23R (rs2201841, rs12044149) [ 11 , 12 , 15 ], IL12B (rs2082412) [ 11 , 17 ], and IL13 (rs1800925, rs20541, rs848) [ 21 – 23 ] have been replicated, while a large scale genome wide association study (GWAS) failed to reproduce the associations for the polymorphisms in IL13 and IL12B [ 12 ].…”
