What this Trial Is About
Psoriasis is a common immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease affecting at least 100 million individuals worldwide. In Egypt, the prevalence of psoriasis ranges between 0.19% and 3% of the Egyptian people. It is associated with poor quality of life, reduced life expectancy and multimorbidity including psoriatic arthritis, obesity and cardiovascular disease. Vaspin (VASP, SERPIN 12) is a recently discovered adipokine that has been isolated from the visceral adipose tissue of a rat model of type 2 diabetes. It is coded by the gene SERPNA12 located on the long arm of chromosome 14q32.13 and consists of six exons and five introns.
