Abstract excerpt
Chromosome 17q25 harbors a susceptibility locus for psoriasis ( PSORS2). This locus may overlap with loci for atopic dermatitis and rheumatoid arthritis. To further refine the location of PSORS2, we genotyped 242 primarily nuclear families for 15 polymorphic microsatellites mapping to chromosome 17q23-q25. Non-parametric linkage analysis revealed a linkage peak lying close to a novel cluster of genes from the...
