Haematopoietic mLOY was derived from genotyping intensity data and analysed as both categorical mLOY status and continuous mLOY percentage (mLOY%). Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate associations with incident DE. Sex susceptibility was evaluated in a 1 : 1 propensity score-matched male-female cohort. Genetic modification was assessed using a DE polygenic risk score (PRS), and mediation by circulating metabolites was explored via metabolomics analyses.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>During follow-up, 9608 men developed DE. In fully adjusted models, both low mLOY (8-20%) and high mLOY (>20%) were associated with increased DE risk, with the strongest association found for high mLOY [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 1.44, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.26-1.66; P < 0.001]. Compared with women, men without detectable mLOY had a similar risk of DE, whereas men with low mLOY and high mLOY had progressively higher risks [aHR 1.14 (95% CI 1.07-1.21) and aHR 1.52 (95% CI 1.32-1.74), respectively], supporting a contribution of mLOY to male susceptibility to DE. In age-mLOY discordance analyses, younger men with high mLOY showed a DE risk approaching that of older men without high mLOY, consistent with accelerated biologic ageing. The greatest risk was found in men with high mLOY and high PRS (aHR 1.85, 95% CI 1.49-2.31; P < 0.001). In metabolomic analyses, 98 circulating metabolites significantly mediated the mLOY-DE association, predominantly lipoprotein-related traits.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Haematopoietic mLOY was associated with an increased risk of incident DE and may contribute to late-life sex differences in DE susceptibility. Lipoprotein-centric mediation signals implicate modifiable metabolic pathways and support integrating mLOY status and lipid profiling into the risk assessment for older men.</p>","PeriodicalId":520789,"journal":{"name":"The British journal of dermatology","volume":" ","pages":"793-805"},"PeriodicalIF":9.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148045433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
