Psoriasis gene study for Egyptian patients
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at a specific gene (Card14) in Egyptian patients with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis. It may help understand why some people get these conditions and how they could be treated better.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at a specific gene change (called TRAF3IP2) in people with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis who are about to start methotrexate. The goal is to see if the gene affects how well the treatment works or if it causes side effects.
This study looks at how inflammatory “cytokines” are expressed in people with psoriasis—both those with joint involvement and those without. It may help researchers understand what drives joint disease and guide better future monitoring or treatments.
This trial compares two drugs, apremilast and adalimumab, to see which is more effective for people with psoriatic arthritis who have not responded well to methotrexate. It focuses on joint pain, swelling, and skin symptoms.
This study looks at people with early arthritis related to rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or psoriasis. Researchers want to understand how these early conditions behave and may help guide better treatment decisions.
This study looks at a specific genetic marker (HLA B leader) in people with psoriatic arthritis compared to healthy individuals. It may help researchers understand how this gene affects the disease.
This study looks at how well advanced treatments work for people with psoriatic arthritis, and whether results differ for sex and gender. You may be eligible if your psoriatic arthritis is active and you are planning to start an advanced treatment for symptoms in the joints and surrounding areas.
