SIR, Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an inflammatory arthritis associated with various extra-articular features, including psoriasis (which is seen in the majority of subjects with PsA) and, occasionally, inflammatory bowel disease. Recently, there have been major advances in the genetics of psoriasis (SLC9A3R1) [1], rheumatoid arthritis (SLC22A4 and RUNX1) [2], and Crohn's disease (a haplotype of SNPs in SLC22A4 and SLC22A5) [3]. As SLC22A4, SLC22A5, SLC9A3R1 and RUNX1 have a proposed
