Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Polymorphic light eruption (PLE) is a common inherited photosensitivity disorder, which may predispose to several related but distinct conditions, including subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE), discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) and actinic prurigo (AP). OBJECTIVES: To examine specific candidate genes for shared susceptibility alleles between these related phenotypes. METHODS: Eighty-five...
