Integrating omics data for personalized medicine in treating psoriasis

Abstract

Psoriasis is a chronic, multifactorial skin disorder characterized by the hyperproliferation of keratinocytes and persistent inflammation. It is driven by a complex interplay of genetic, immunological, and environmental factors. The heterogeneous nature of this disease presents significant challenges for effective diagnosis and treatment. Recent advancements in omics technologies such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics have revolutionized our ability to understand the molecular basis of psoriasis. These technologies offer novel insights into disease mechanisms, identifying potential biomarkers for early diagnosis, disease progression, and therapeutic response. Further, longitudinal studies utilizing real-world patient data and advanced computational models will enable dynamic disease monitoring, offering prospects for predictive diagnostics and earlier intervention. As personalized treatment plans become more sophisticated, the evolution of omics-guided therapeutic strategies could revolutionize the standard of care in psoriasis, fostering a transition from reactive to preventative approaches. This review aims to elucidate the critical role of omics approaches in unraveling the intricate biological pathways involved in psoriasis and exploring how specific omics data serve as powerful tools for classifying patients and tailoring treatment options based on individual molecular profiles. Further, longitudinal studies utilizing real-world patient data and advanced computational models will enable dynamic disease monitoring, offering prospects for predictive diagnostics and earlier intervention. As personalized treatment plans become more sophisticated, the evolution of omics-guided therapeutic strategies could revolutionize the standard of care in psoriasis, fostering a transition from reactive to preventative approaches. Addressing current challenges in data integration and clinical applicability will be pivotal in advancing towards this future, with the potential to significantly improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
