[US abnormalities were independent of ePsA clinical indices (except erosions - even if represented only in a low percentage - that correlated to BASDAI [p<0.05]), while they were associated to several dermatological (except PASI), serological and genetic parameters: psoriasis (all p<0.0001), palmoplantar psoriasis (wrist and hand AS p<0.0005 and p<0.005, respectively), hand psoriasis (all p<0.0001), nail dystrophy (hand AS p<0.05, PT p<0.0001, erosions p<0.0001); positive CRP (all p<0.0001), ESR (wrist and hand AS p<0.005 and <0.0005, respectively, TS, PT and erosions p<0.0001) and ACPA - even if represented only in 1.78% of patients - (wrist and hand AS and TS p<0.0001, PT p<0.5); HLA-B27 (wrist and hand AS p<0.0001, TS p<0.01, PT p<0.05), -B35 (wrist and hand AS p<0.01 and p<0.05, respectively), -B38 (wrist and hand AS p<0.0001, TS p<0.0001, PT p<0.005), -CW6 (wrist AS p<0.05), -DR4 (wrist and hand AS p<0.0001, TS p<0.0001, PT p<0.005).].
