Omics-Driven Biomarkers of Psoriasis: Recent Insights, Current Challenges, and Future Prospects

Clin Cosmet Investig Dermatol. 2020 Aug 25:13:611-625. doi: 10.2147/CCID.S227896. eCollection 2020.

Abstract

Advances in omics technologies have made it possible to unravel biomarkers from different biological levels. Intensive studies have been carried out to uncover the dysregulations in psoriasis and to identify molecular signatures associated with the pathogenesis of psoriasis. In this review, we presented an overview of the current status of the omics-driven biomarker research and emphasized the transcriptomic, epigenomic, proteomic, metabolomic, and glycomic signatures proposed as psoriasis biomarkers. Furthermore, insights on the limitations and future directions of the current biomarker discovery strategies were discussed, which will continue to comprehend broader visions of psoriasis research, diagnosis, and therapy especially in the context of personalized medicine.
