Abstract excerpt
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type-9 (PCSK9) is a posttranslational regulator of the LDL receptor (LDLR). Recent studies have proposed a role for PCSK9 in regulating immune responses. Using RNA-Seq-based variant discovery, we identified a possible psoriasis-susceptibility locus at 1p32.3, located within PCSK9 (rs662145 C > T). This finding was verified in independently acquired genomic and RNA-Seq data...
