Psoriatic arthritis is getting undiagnosed

[Quest4Cure]

I have read where the gene marker for PSA has been Identified. Scientists have found a PSA gene marker on what is called a locus. A specific place on a chromosome where genetic variations happen. Scientisits have found a genetic variation or gene marker for psoriatic arthritis on a locus on chromosome 5. Scientists found this marker to make a patient prone to PSA and not Psoriasis. Now it's narrowed down to the IL-23 monoclonal antibody drug is the next step for research for PsA.

Merck highlites R&D of anti-interleukin-23

Also another med for Psoriasis has been approved in the U.S. IL-17a interleukin pathway 17-A
Secukinumab, a fully human anti-interleukin-17A monoclonal antibody for P. & PSA. Hope it's available for you. I read it can clear P. Patients with 40%-60% coverage in 3-4 weeks.

Yes we have a lot of information on Cosentyx and it's in our list of Biological Treatments For Psoriasis

As for trials I nearly went on the ASP015K one, but didn't get it because I had been using Bio's for to long. But trials are not something I would normaly go for, and if I did it would be through my hospital.

Hi
Have you tried cosentyx? Just curious when I see a pic of your skin and I can't help but worry why nothing seems to help clear up you Psoriasis.Im so very sorry you seem to go thru so much. I was hospitalized with P. As a child and their treatment was UVB and occlusion. Treatment has come a long way since then.
THANKX for the thread referrals have read a lot of threads clinical studies posted. You do a great job getting as mich info as you can on all the bio treatments as well as the plethora of natural treatments.
Diet has never had an effect on my P. It's good to eat healthy & clean for good health period. No scientifically proof on P. Clearing.some P. Patience swear it cleared the rid skin Yet I see your skin and I know you have tried many treatments BiOS see can quit working after a time and scientists are now doing studies on that.
I keep trying to help you find something for relief.
have you tried to add a water conditioner / softener on the home filter water system and black light and filters . It's made a big difference in our Psoriasis.
I hope you are better soon.
Thank you for all you contributions.

Kind Regards
