- Abstract
BACKGROUND: Psoriasis is a multisystem chronic inflammatory disease whose main target organ is the skin; affects about 2% of the world population. There has been a growing interest in biomarkers to improve diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic process. Biomarkers has been studied, among these, HLA-C*06:02 allele stands out as support for choice among therapeutic options. OBJECTIVE: To present a global overview of the pathogenesis of psoriasis, as well as some of the biomarkers that are currently emerging as the most valid in clinical practice. METHODOLOGY: Narrative review of the literature carried out from December 1992 to October 2021 in the Medline databases through the PubMed search engine with the MeSH terms "psoriasis", "etiology" and "biomarker", and Google Scholar with the terms "psoriasis", "psoriasis vulgaris", "pathogenesis", "biomarker" and "biomarkers". RESULTS: Psoriasis is characterized by abnormal activation of epidermal keratinocytes, aberrant neovascularization, and deregulation of immune system cell function. Multiple biomarkers have been investigated in psoriasis that can be grouped into genetic, epigenetic, serum and tissue. CONCLUSIONS: In biomarkers in psoriasis and individualized medicine the panorama is broad; however, these are in the identification stage and their validation in larger and multicenter cohorts is still missing to be brought to wide use in daily clinical practice.
