It is currently known that psoriasis has a high frequency of Treg/IL17+ lymphocytes and recent studies have demonstrated high levels of T-helper 17 (Th17) lymphocytes, both in the peripheral tissue and in the thyroid tissue of patients with autoimmune thyroid disease, as well as Th17 expression in patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT).26, 27 This pathway may be related not only to the pathophysiology of psoriasis but to that of immune-mediated thyroid diseases, suggesting a connection between them. The gene discussed is IL17A; the disease is psoriasis.
