It has been recently suggested by microsatellite mapping that a real susceptible gene for psoriasis resides in the approximately 100-kb genomic region telomeric of the HLA-C gene. In this respect, the corneodesmosin (CDSN) gene 160-kb telomeric of HLA-C is a strong candidate because of its location and...
