Psoriatic arthritis (also arthritis psoriatica , arthropathic psoriasis or psoriatic arthropathy ) is a type of inflammatory arthritis that, according to the National Psoriasis Foundation , will develop in up to 30 percent of people who have the chronic skin condition psoriasis . Psoriatic arthritis is said to be a seronegative spondyloarthropathy and therefore occurs more commonly in patients with tissue type HLA-B27 .
