A recent genomic survey identified the association between a common single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at the CARD14 gene (SNP rs11652075; p.Arg820Trp) and psoriasis (Psor). Our aim was to replicate the association between this polymorphism and to determine whether other CARD14 variants could explain the association. A total of 400 Psor patients (mean age 47±15; 55% male) and 420 healthy controls (mean age 51±16; 56% male) all Caucasian were genotyped for rs11652075. The rs11652075 CC genotype was significantly associated with Psor in our population (p=0.003; odds ratios=1.59; 95% confidence intervals=1.16-2.19; statistical power >80). The sequencing of the whole CARD14 coding exons in a total of 15 patients did not identify other DNA variants that could explain this association. We did not find significant differences (allele/genotype frequencies) between the patients according to disease severity, presence of arthritis, onset of age, and family history of Psor. We confirmed the association between SNP rs11652075 at the CARD14 gene and Psor. The absence of other coding variants among our patients supported a direct role for this missense polymorphism on Psor risk.
