NFKBIZ in Psoriasis: Assessing the association with gene polymorphisms and report of a new transcript variant.

Abstract excerpt

The IκBζ protein (NFKBIZ gene) is a nuclear inhibitor of NF-κB and plays an important role in the pathogenesis of Psoriasis (Psor). We sought to determine whether common NFKBIZ variants were associated with the risk of developing Psor. A total of 392 patients and 336 controls were genotyped for a common intron 10 indel that could affect pre-mRNA splicing. We found a significantly higher frequency of the insertion...
