Abstract excerpt
The onset or exacerbation of psoriasis, a T-cell-dependent skin disease with autoimmune features, can be triggered by drugs such as antimalarials and beta-blockers. Xenobiotics may also play a role in idiopathic psoriasis. It has been hypothesized that different metabolic efficiencies caused by variant alleles of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes could lead to the accumulation of xenobiotics or their reactive...
