Psoriasis vulgaris (PsV) is strongly associated with HLA-C*06:02. HLA class I molecules present antigenic peptides to CD8+ T lymphocytes. Peptide transport from cytosol to the endoplasmic reticulum is mediated by a transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) composed of TAP1 and TAP2 polymorphic proteins. Here, we compared the distribution of three coding single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs1057141...
