Comparison of Risk Allele Frequencies of Psoriasis-Associated Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Different Population Groups

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of psoriasis differs by population, and it appears to be more common among Europeans than in East Asians. Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified alleles that increase the risk of psoriasis, and these alleles may present different frequencies in different geographic regions. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to gain insights into the causes of differences in disease frequencies...
