Moreover, also in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PSA), without significant burden of traditional cardiovascular risk factors or history of CVD, levels of pro-atherogenic inflammation markers such as CRP (C-reactive protein) and soluble ICAM-1 (intracellular adhesion molecule-1) when compared to healthy subjects were related to the duration and severity of PSA. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is psoriatic arthritis.
