DNA Copy Number Variation Associated with Anti-tumour Necrosis Factor Drug Response and Paradoxical Psoriasiform Reactions in Patients with Moderate-to-severe Psoriasis

Acta Derm Venereol. 2021 May 4;101(5):adv00448. doi: 10.2340/00015555-3794. ABSTRACT Biological drugs targeting tumour necrosis factor are effective for psoriasis. However, 30-50% of patients do not respond to these drugs and may even develop paradoxical psoriasiform reactions. This study search-ed for DNA copy number variations that could predict anti-tumour necrotic factor drug response or the appearance…
