For people living with psoriasis, earlier identification of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) could mean preventing permanent joint damage before it begins.

Thanks to donor support, the National Psoriasis Foundation has helped drive major breakthroughs in psoriatic arthritis diagnosis, and we’re getting closer to earlier detection and prevention.

In just six years, our PsA Diagnostic Test Grant:
🔬 Advanced a potential multi-omic diagnostic test
🧬 Discovered new immune cells linked to joint inflammation
⏳ Progressed efforts to reduce time to diagnosis
💰 Turned $3.15M into $10.7M in additional research funding

We are accelerating earlier detection. We are reducing time to diagnosis.
We are reshaping how the medical community understands psoriasis progression to PsA.
