Description
Fabienne Lesueur, Tiphaine Oudot, Simon Heath and colleagues named ADAM33 as a fresh candidate gene for psoriasis, in PLOS ONE in 2007. Psoriasis is a long lasting skin disorder with many causes, genes among them. An earlier genome scan in forty-six French families with plaque psoriasis had already pinned down one major risk region.
Building on that scan, the team point to ADAM33 as another possible contributor. A candidate is not proof, and the authors present it as a lead to test. Each solid lead matters because psoriasis treatment still relies heavily on broad immune calming. A gene based lead could one day point to a narrower target.
