Abstract

We investigated the relationship between eight polymorphisms in the gene encoding for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (-1540C > A, -1512Ins18, -1451C > T, -460T > C, -160C > T, -152G > A, -116G > A and +405G > C) and plaque-type psoriasis stratified for age at onset, gender and family history of dermatosis. For this purpose, 117 patients with chronic plaque-type psoriasis and 215 healthy subjects were enrolled. We found that being homozygous -1540AA, -1512InsIns, -1451TT, -460CC and -152AA conferred a significant risk in developing psoriasis compared with heterozygous (-1540CA, -1512 + Ins, -1451CT, -460CT and -152AG) and homozygous genotypes (-1540CC, -1512 + +-1451CC, -460TT and -152GG) grouped together [odds ratio (ORs) = 1.73, 1.73, 1.73, 1.77 and 1.87, respectively]. Conversely, having the -116AA or +405GG genotype did not significantly increase the risk of disease expression compared with other genotypes of the same loci. Interestingly, we found that -1540AA, -1512InsIns, -1451TT, -460CC and -152AA homozygous genotypes have a significant two-fold increased risk in developing psoriasis after the age of 40 years (late-onset psoriasis) (ORs = 2.19, 2.19, 2.19, 2.05 and 2.26; P = 0.02, 0.02, 0.02, 0.04 and 0.02, res...Continue Reading
