Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the tumor necrosis factor gene TNF at positions -238 and -308 have been associated with psoriasis vulgaris and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) at chromosome region 6p21, a region known to harbor risk factors for psoriasis susceptibility (PSORS1) other than just SNPs of the TNF gene, renders the interpretation of these findings...
