Data suggest that psoriatic arthritis presents before psoriasis in 10-15% of cases. In those cases, a family history may reveal a hereditary pattern of psoriasis.

In the majority of patients (60%-80%), psoriasis appears to precede the onset of psoriatic arthritis, with an average of 7-12 years between these diagnoses. Occasionally, arthritis and psoriasis appear simultaneously.
