Abstract excerpt
We have previously reported a region on chromosome 5q as a possible susceptibility region for psoriasis. This cytokine cluster-rich region has also been suggested as a susceptibility locus in other autoimmune or inflammatory diseases including Crohn's disease (CD) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Three specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been reported to associate with RA and CD and to change the...
