Why should I take the PsoriasisDX Genetic Test?

• The PsoriasisDX Genetic Test will help predict your risk for psoriatic arthritis BEFORE you experience painful irreversible joint damage
  
  
• By the time symptoms of psoriatic arthritis are noticeable, it is likely that you may have already developed irreversible joint damage
  
  
• The only FDA approved treatments are effective at controlling inflammation and arresting joint destruction, but are ineffective at reversing joint damage
  
  
• Knowing your risk early for developing psoriatic arthritis will help your doctor assess the best course of therapy to prevent disease progression and slow joint destruction

What will the PsoriasisDX Genetic Test tell me?

• The PsoriasisDX Genetic Test for psoriatic arthritis reports the presence or absence of a specific variation in the immune response gene, MICA
  
  
• An individual who tests positive has approximately a 60% chance of developing psoriatic arthritis
  
  
• An individual who tests negative has approximately a 70% chance of not developing psoriatic arthritis
