Abstract:
Pustular psoriasis is not a rare inflammatory skin disease, and is characterized by sudden onset of generalized erythema and sterile pustules complicated by chills, high fever, neutrophilia and elevated levels of C?reactive protein. Due to frequent recurrence, it greatly impacts the quality of life in patients. Recently, it has been gradually found that IL36RN, CARD14 and AP1S3 mutations are associated with the occurrence of pustular psoriasis, and accordingly some new therapeutic approaches have emerged. This review summarizes recent advances in genetics of pustular psoriasis.
