Serum kallikrein-8 correlates with skin activity, but not psoriatic arthritis, in patients with psoriatic disease.
Azza Eissa,Daniela Cretu,Antoninus Soosaipillai,Arane Thavaneswaran,Fawnda Pellett,Anastasia Diamandis,Ferda Cevikbas,Martin Steinhoff,Eleftherios P. Diamandis,Dafna D. Gladman,Vinod Chandran +10 more
TL;DR: Increased KLK8 serum level in PsA patients reflects disease activity in the skin but not in the joints, and serum KLK levels are not useful for screening psoriasis patients for PsA.

Association of SEEK1 and psoriatic arthritis in two distinct Canadian populations
Proton Rahman,Christopher Butt,Fotios Siannis,Vernon T. Farewell,Lynette Peddle,Fawnda Pellett,C T Schentag,Dafna D. Gladman +7 more
TL;DR: Although SeeK1 is associated with PsA, particularly in the Newfoundland population, multivariate analysis showed that SEEK1 does not seem to be a further susceptibility factor if the HLA-Cw*0602 status is already known.

High resolution mapping in the major histocompatibility complex region identifies multiple independent novel loci for psoriatic arthritis
Proton Rahman,Nicole M. Roslin,Fawnda Pellett,Mathieu Lemire,Celia M. T. Greenwood,Joseph Beyene,Angela Pope,Lynette Peddle,Andrew D. Paterson,Mohammed Uddin,Dafna D. Gladman +10 more
TL;DR: Four new loci for either psoriasis or PsA in the MHC region that are independent of known HLA alleles have been identified, and the effect size of these variants is modest.

HLA-DRB1∗04 alleles in psoriatic arthritis: comparison with rheumatoid arthritis and healthy controls
Dafna D. Gladman,Vern Farewell,Proton Rahman,Catherine T Schentag,Fawnda Pellett,Chang Ming Ng,Judith A. Wade +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the differences in the class II HLA epitope(s) may also be related to interaction specificity with another molecule functioning in the immune response to a putative arthritogenic antigen and result in differences in disease expression.

Association of variably expressed KIR3dl1 alleles with psoriatic disease
Jeffrey A. Berinstein,Jeffrey A. Berinstein,Remy A. Pollock,Remy A. Pollock,Fawnda Pellett,Arane Thavaneswaran,Vinod Chandran,Dafna D. Gladman +7 more
TL;DR: The presence of the HLA-Bw4 epitope was significantly associated with PsD, particularly in the PsA patients compared to controls, and the novel qPCR technique successfully identified the four variably expressed KIR3DL1 alleles.
