Integrative Analysis of Plasma Proteomics and Transcriptomics Reveals Potential Therapeutic Targets for Psoriasis.

ABSTRACT: Background Psoriasis (PsO): is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease that imposes a significant burden on patients. Many patients experience relapse or inadequate responses, and PsO subtypes also lack effective therapies, highlighting the need for new therapeutic targets. Methods: We performed a proteome-wide Mendelian randomization (MR) to explore potential therapeutic targets for PsO. Protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs) data were obtained from the Pharma Proteomics Project (54,219 UK Biobank participants, 2923 proteins), and PsO phenotype and subtype data were sourced from FinnGen (10,312 cases; 397,564 controls) for discovery. Replication MR utilized integrated protein data (Iceland and Norfolk) and phenotype data from multiple databases (UK Biobank and GWAS C
