Lastly, there is controversy as to whether PUVA_ treated patients have an increased risk of cutaneous melanoma.

groups identified homozygous or compound heterozygous loss-offunction mutations in IL36RN, which encodes the IL-36 receptor antagonist.
Patients with the autoinflammatory disorder DITRA (deficiency of IL-36 receptor antagonist) present with widespread psoriasiform plaques whose edges contain sterile pustules.

Based upon susceptibility loci and transcriptomics, a significant IL-36 signature was also observed in patients with plaque psoriasis.
