Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We read with great interest the paper of Edmonds et al. (1) who observed that men with penile lichen sclerosus (PLS) have significantly increased extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1) serum levels when compared to healthy controls (HC). Similar results were previously found in women with vulvar LS (VLS).(2) Edmonds et al. 1 postulated that anti-ECM1 antibodies are not the causative mechanism but present an epiphenomenon in LS. Nevertheless, there is evidence for humoral as well as cell-mediated autoimmunopathogenic mechanisms driving LS.(1-5). |
