Familial prevalence of psoriasis in patients with multiple sclerosis – results from an Australian survey
This study demonstrates a significantly increased risk of psoriasis among family members of MS patients, suggesting overlap in genetic risk between the two immune-mediated diseases. Further prospective research is warranted to determine the characteristics of association in MS individuals with psoriasis or/and family history of psoriasis.
