Summary
This study aimed to find a genetic link or family trait that connects people with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS), a painful skin condition. Researchers collected blood or saliva samples from 97 participants, including affected individuals and their family members, to analyze DNA for rare gene variants. The goal was to better understand the cause of HS and potentially guide future treatments.
