Immune modules to guide diagnosis and personalized treatment of inflammatory skin diseases.

ABSTRACT: Previous advances have identified immune pathways associated with inflammatory skin diseases, leading to the development of targeted therapies. However, there is a lack of molecular approaches that delineate these pathways at the individual patient level for personalized diagnostic and therapeutic guidance. Here, we conduct a cross-comparison of expression profiles from multiple inflammatory skin diseases to identify gene modules defining relevant immune pathways. Seven modules are identified, representing key immune pathways: Th17, Th2, Th1, Type I IFNs, neutrophilic, macrophagic, and eosinophilic. These modules allow the development of a molecular map with high diagnostic efficacy for inflammatory skin diseases and clinico-pathologically undetermined cases. Aligning dominant modules with
