Use of Janus Kinase Inhibitors in the Treatment of Genodermatoses: A Systematic Review
Introduction Genodermatoses are rare inherited skin disorders with limited treatment options. Emerging evidence suggests Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors may offer therapeutic benefits by modulating underlying immune and inflammatory pathways. This study aims to systematically review the efficacy and safety of JAK inhibitors in treating genodermatoses ...
