Does an investigation of rheumatoid arthritis loci in patients with early-onset psoriasis validate association of the REL gene?
Similar exploration of additional autoimmune loci and fine mapping of such regions may provide further insight into the genetics and molecular pathophysiology of psoriasis.
Our results suggest that long-term online HDF does not reduce the frequency and severity of ACKD in dialysis patients. Duration of renal replacement therapy is the most important risk factor for ACKD. Factors that cannot be corrected by use of HDF may contribute to the formation of renal cysts.
