Brief Summary  
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin which affects the skin or joints or both in
adults, with an overall prevalence being 2 to 3% of the population worldwide. This condition has
substantial negative impact on the quality of life of the patients.
1.Clinically it is characterized by well-demarcated, erythematous plaques with silvery white scales.
2.MicroRNA(miRNA) are short, single-stranded, noncoding RNA molecules about 22 to 25 nucleotides in length that are capable of negatively modulating the gene expression by binding to the 3’ untranslated region (UTR) of target messenger RNAs (mRNAs), leading to their degradation or translational repression based on the degree of complementarity.
3.Various studies have shown the role of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Usually miR203,miR21 and miR146a are upregulated , whereas miR125b is down regulated in psoriatic skin compared with that of healthy skin.
4.In peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with psoriasis as compared with healthy controls, miR-193b, miR-223 and miR-143 were found to be significantly upregulated.
5.Many research studies have been conducted to identify soluble biomarkers for psoriasis, but still there is no specific biomarker that can accurately predict the progression of disease and therapeutic response.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
1.To determine the expression of miRNA223 in cases of chronic plaque psoriasis.
2. To compare the expression of miRNA223 in cases and controls.
3.To correlate the expression of miRNA223 with severity of chronic plaque psoriasis.
