A genome-wide association study was performed to identify genetic factors involved in
susceptibility to psoriasis (PS) and psoriatic arthritis (PSA), inflammatory diseases of the skin …

Psoriasis vulgaris (PsV) is a common inflammatory and hyperproliferative skin disease. Up
to 30% of people with PsV eventually develop psoriatic arthritis (PsA), an inflammatory …

Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are interrelated disorders, as most patients with PsA
also have psoriasis. Thus it is not surprising that epidemiological and immunogenetic …

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory musculoskeletal disease affecting up to
30% of psoriasis vulgaris (PsV) cases and approximately 0.25 to 1% of the general …

Psoriasis is a common, immunologically mediated, inflammatory and hyperproliferative
disease of the skin and joints, with a multifactorial genetic basis. We earlier mapped …

Objective There is great interest in the identification of genetic factors that differentiate
psoriatic arthritis (PsA) from psoriasis vulgaris (PsV), as such discoveries could lead to the …

Clinicians have long recognized a strong familial component to psoriatic disease, and this
observation has been substantiated in population and cohort-based studies. Epidemiologic …

Objective Recent reports have confirmed association of single‐nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs) mapping to the interleukin‐23 receptor (IL‐23R) and IL‐12β genes with psoriasis …

Genetic epidemiological studies have demonstrated a significant genetic basis to both
psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Although candidate gene association studies had …

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory arthritis associated with psoriasis and,
despite the larger estimated heritability for PsA, the majority of genetic susceptibility loci …
