Inter-Relater Reliability of Phenotypes, and Exploratory Genotype- Phenotype Analysis in Inherited Hidradenitis Suppurativa.

CONCLUSIONS: These findings may be influenced by selection, publication bias and the assumption that HS is a monogenic disorder. The poor inter-rater reliability of existing phenotype measures suggests limited utility of existing measures. Further investigations into the correlation of clinical phenotypes with inflammatory biomarkers may aid in prognostic efforts for this disease. This article is protected by copyright.
