Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition with regional and ethnic differences in its
prevalence and clinical manifestations. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-Cw6 is the disease …

Psoriasis is a multifactorial disease with a strong genetic background. HLA‐Cw6 is one of
the most strongly associated psoriasis susceptibility alleles. It is repeatedly observed to …

Previous serotyping in Chinese patients has failed to confirm an association between HLA-
Cw6 and psoriasis. As serotyping has proved to be less valuable in the determination of …

Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory and hyperproliferative skin disease with a genetic basis.
While epidermal hyperplasia and altered keratinocyte differentiation are prominent features …

Psoriasis is associated with HLA-Cw6, and Caucasians who carry this allele have about a
10-fold increased risk of developing psoriasis. We have HLA-C typed 369 patients with …

Postulated genetic factors in psoriasis include human leukocyte antigen associations. HLA-
Cw6 is the most frequently described association and has been confirmed in many racial …

Background Psoriasis is not only related to genetic factors but also to environmental factors.
However, the combined effect of genetic and environmental factors in the development of …

Association of psoriasis vulgaris with HLA-C is not equally strong in different human
populations. It has not yet been studied in Polish patients at DNA level, but only by serology …

HLA-Cw6 is strongly associated with psoriasis and has been suggested to be the PSORS1
gene that confers susceptibility to early-onset psoriasis. In this study of the clinical features of …
