Genome-wide studies of psoriasis susceptibility loci: a review.

Abstract excerpt

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis affecting approximately 0.3-5% world-wide. Since 1997, nine genome-wide scans have been published in the search for predisposing genes to psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. These genome-wide scans have provided results that both confirm earlier work, but which also suggest novel regions of interest on the genome. This article reviews the results of these genome-wide...
