Fat gene clue in psoriasis puzzle
NCT ID NCT07320872
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a gene called vaspin, which is linked to fat tissue, plays a role in psoriasis. Researchers will compare blood samples and gene patterns from 60 people with psoriasis to see if certain gene changes are tied to more severe disease. The goal is to better understand what causes psoriasis, not to test a new treatment.
