Abstrakt: This study aims to examine whether the genetic variants in the genes for Granzyme B (GZMB) and Interferon Induced with Helicase C domain 1 (IFIH1) were associated with psoriasis. Psoriasis, a papulosquamous skin disease, was initially thought of as a disorder primarily of epidermal keratinocytes but is now recognized as one of the most common immune-mediated disorders. It is caused by the interplay between multiple genetic and environmental risk factors. This case-control study has 65 participants with psoriasis and 65 healthy controls. Real-time PCR was used to genotype GZMB (rs8192917) and IFIH1 (rs35667974). Genotype occurrence and allelic spreading for both SNPs are in Hardy – Weinberg equilibrium. The genotype and allele distributions of rs35667974 showed no differences between the studied groups. Regarding rs8192917, compared to Group II, there is a statistically significant rise in the CC genotype and C allele in Group I. Higher PASI scores are detected in the C/C and C/T genotypes more than the T/T genotype. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that BMI, catalase, MDA, and rs8192917 (C/C) are associated with psoriasis. GZMB rs8192917 was significantly related to psoriasis risk; its C allele is likewise associated with psoriasis vulnerability. However, our investigation found no link between rs35667974 and psoriasis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
