Overview
The exact etiology of psoriatic arthritis is not known. Genetics, environmental factors, and immune mechanisms act as triggers for the disease development and progression.
Causes
- There are no established causes of psoriatic arthritis.
- The occurrence of psoriatic arthritis is secondary to a combination of genes, immune mechanisms and exposure to specific external factors or triggers, which increase an individual's risk of developing psoriatic arthritis.
- These risk factors lead to complex interactions between the genetics, immune system, and the environment.[1]
