Confirmation of genetic heterogeneity in familial psoriasis.

Abstract excerpt

Psoriasis affects approximately 2% of the European population and is often familial. Linkage of a subset of psoriasis families to loci on chromosome 17q has recently been reported. We have studied members of a large multiply affected family from the north east of England and analysed genotypes for markers from 17q, including the polymorphic microsatellite markers AFM210xa5, AFM163yg1, AFM044xg3, AFMa353yg1, and...
