Insights into suicidal behavior among psoriatic arthritis patients: A systematic review and a genetic linkage disequilibrium analysis

Semin Arthritis RheumPublished Systematic review and genetic linkage disequilibrium analysis

Authors' conclusion

Suicide behavior in PsA patients was associated with depression and other psychiatric comorbidities. Further evidence supports a genetic origin, at least partly.

Shared genetic haplotype for PsA and depression

Haplotype on chromosomal region 6p21.1 (29,597,596 to 32,251,264 Mb) contains predisposing single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for PsA and depression
