Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated disease with a complex etiology involving various genetic and immunological factors as well as environmental factors. Psoriasis is thought to be mediated by T-cells polarized to a Th17 fate. PTPN2 encodes the T-cell protein tyrosine phosphatase, which acts as a negative regulator of the JAK/STAT signaling pathways downstream of cytokines and plays a prominent role in T-cell activation, signaling and/or effector function. To evaluate the association between PTPN2 gene polymorphisms and psoriasis in the Northeastern Chinese population. A case-control study was conducted, and 398 patients with psoriasis and 397 healthy controls were genotyped for thirteen genetic polymorphisms in PTPN2. Allele analysis revealed that rs2847297, rs657555 and rs482160 polymorphisms were significantly associated with psoriasis (p = 0.0018, p = 0.0017 and p = 0.0086, respectively). Genotype analysis also revealed that these polymorphisms were significantly associated with psoriasis under different models (codominant, dominant and recessive models) (p < 0.05). In this study, three haplotypes (H1, H7 and H11) were also found to be associated with psoriasis (p = 0.0015, p = 0.0094, and p = 0.0124, respectively). These results indicate that PTPN2 genetic polymorphisms are associated with psoriasis in the Northeastern Chinese population.

Abstract
Genome wide association studies have identified several genes that might be associated with increase susceptibility to Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) and Crohn's disease. Both Crohn's disease and T1D have a profound impact on the lives of patients and it is pivotal to investigate the genetic role in patients acquiring these diseases. Understanding the effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP's) in key genes in patients suffering from T1D and Crohn's disease is crucial to finding an effective treatment and generating novel therapeutic drugs. This review article is focused on the impact of SNP's in PTPN2 (protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 2) and PTPN22 (protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22) on the development of Crohn's disease and T1D. The PTPN2 gene mutation in T1D patients play a direct role in the destruction of beta cells while in Crohn's disease patients, it modulates the innate immune responses. The PTPN22 gene mutations also play a role in both diseases by modulating intracellular signaling. Examining the mechanism through which these genes increase the susceptibility to both diseases and gaining a better understanding of their structure and function is of vital importance to understand the etiology and pathogenesis of Type 1 Diabetes and Crohn's disease.
