(2) Methods: This pilot case-controlled study involved 100 psoriatic patients and 100 healthy individuals. We investigated three SNPs and assessed the relative gene expression profile for the PSORS1C1 gene. We then correlated the results with both disease risk and severity. (3) Results: The most significantly associated SNP in PSORS1 locus with psoriasis was rs10484554 with its C\/T genotype 5.63 times more likely to develop psoriasis under codominant comparison. Furthermore, C\/T and T\/T genotypes were 5 times more likely to develop psoriasis. The T allele was 3 times more likely to develop psoriasis under allelic comparison. The relative gene expression of PSORS1C1 for psoriatic patients showed to be under-expressed compared to normal controls. (4) Conclusions: Our study revealed the association of the three studied SNPs with psoriasis risk and severity in an Egyptian cohort, indicating that rs10484554 could be the major key player in the PSORS1 locus.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics12051035","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,21]],"date-time":"2022-04-21T01:55:51Z","timestamp":1650506151000},"page":"1035","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["PSORS1 Locus Genotyping Profile in Psoriasis: A Pilot Case-Control Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Noha Z.","family":"Tawfik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology, Venereology and Andrology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Suez Canal University, Ismailia 41522, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8685-0134","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hoda Y.","family":"Abdallah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Genetics Unit, Histology & Cell Biology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Suez Canal University, Ismailia 41522, Egypt"},{"name":"Center of Excellence in Molecular and Cellular Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Suez Canal University, Ismailia 41522, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7178-1965","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ranya","family":"Hassan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Pathology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Suez Canal University, Ismailia 41522, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alaa","family":"Hosny","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ministry of Health, Cairo 11435, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dina E.","family":"Ghanem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ministry of Health, Cairo 11435, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aya","family":"Adel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ministry of Health, Cairo 11435, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mona A.","family":"Atwa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology, Venereology and Andrology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Suez Canal University, Ismailia 41522, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"650","DOI":"10.1111\/bjd.15021","article-title":"Incidence, Prevalence and Mortality of Patients with Psoriasis: A U.K. Population-Based Cohort Study","volume":"176","author":"Springate","year":"2017","journal-title":"Br.
