COVID-19 is implicated in triggering autoimmune, dermatologic, and thyroid diseases. We present a first known case of development of Graves’ disease and psoriasis vulgaris in a previously healthy male teenager without any family history, diagnosed after COVID-19 infection. Evaluation of “long COVID syndrome” should include thorough history and thyroid evaluation.

The Relationship

Aim. Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease with a complex etiology, and psoriasis vulgaris (PsV) is the most common type of psoriasis. Recent studies suggest the relationship between psoriasis and metabolic syndrome in different ethnicities. This study is aimed at evaluating the association of metabolism-related gene variants with the risk of PsV in Chinese Han population. Material and Methods. PsV patients (1030) and healthy controls (965) were enrolled in this study. Eighteen single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) previously reported to be significantly associated with metabolic syndrome were selected. SNPs were detected by next-generation sequencing. Results. Seven SNPs were significantly associated with PsV: rs805303 ( P = 0.012 , OR = 0.85 ), rs3177928 ( P = 1.37 × 10 − 15 , OR = 2.51 ), and rs2247056 ( P = 3.73 × 10 − 4 , OR = 0.67 ) located in the HLA gene region; rs1047781 ( P = 0.012 , OR = 1.18 ), rs281379 ( P = 0.014 , OR = 1.71 ), and rs492602 ( P = 0.005 , OR = 1.86 ) located in the FUT2 region; and rs2303138 ( P = 0.014 , OR = 1.18 ) located in the LNPEP region. After stratified analysis, rs805303 ( P = 0.017 , OR = 0.74 ) and rs2303138 ( P = 0.041 , OR = 1.30 ) were associated with PsVs when HLA-C ∗ 06 : 02 was positive, and rs805303 ( P = 5.62 × 10 − 5 , OR = 0.68 ), rs3177928 ( P = 0.003 , OR = 1.75 ), rs281379 ( P = 0.034 , OR = 1.96 ), and rs492602 ( P = 0.025 , OR = 2.04 ) were associated with PsVs when HLA-C ∗ 06 : 02 was negative. Conclusion. PsV and metabolic syndrome may have overlapped susceptible genes in Chinese Han population.

Background/aim: Adropin is a peptide-structure hormone that plays a role in preventing the development of insulin resistance, which has been linked to obesity and metabolic regulation. The purpose of this study is to assess serum adropin levels and their relationship with metabolic parameters in psoriasis vulgaris patients both with and without metabolic syndrome (MetS). Methods: Fifty-three patients and twenty-six healthy controls were included in this study. Serum adropin levels, fasting blood glucose, fasting plasma insulin, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglyceride levels of all participants were analyzed. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure serum adropin levels. Results: Serum adropin levels in psoriatic patients without MetS were 2.94±0.56 ng/ml, in psoriasis patients with MetS were 2.49±0.77 ng/ml and were 3.37±0.71 ng/ml in control group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate adropin decreases in psoriasis patients as an independent predictor in terms of the presence of MetS. Conclusion: The serum levels of adropin in psoriasis patients were significantly lower in the presence of MetS, and this decrease was more prominent than in those without MetS. Adropin may be a responsible factor for metabolic disorders and the development of MetS in psoriasis patients. Key words: Psoriasis, metabolic syndrome, adropin
