Unraveling the complexities of psoriatic arthritis by the use of -Omics and their relevance for clinical care

Abstract

-Omic technologies represent a novel approach to unravel ill-defined aspects of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Large-scale information can be acquired from analysis of affected tissues in PsA via high-throughput studies in the domains of genomics, transcriptomics, epigenetics, proteomics and metabolomics. This is a critical overview of the current knowledge of -omics in PsA, with emphasis on the pathophysiological insights of diagnostic and therapeutic relevance, the advent of novel biomarkers and their potential use for precision medicine in PsA.
