Abstract excerpt
Psoriasis is a heritable, common chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by cycles of remission and flare-ups. Here, we jointly analyze genomic and single-cell transcriptomic data to elucidate the genetic and molecular architecture of psoriasis. We perform a large-scale genome-wide meta-analysis of individuals of European ancestry (n = 1,131,685) and identify 125 independent susceptibility loci associated with...
