Psoriasis Linked To Seven New Genetic Variations

Seven new sites of common DNA variation have been discovered thatincrease the risk of psoriasis.

New Genetic Links To Psoriasis Uncovered

In the first comprehensive study of the genetic basis of psoriasis, researchers have discovered seven new sites of common DNA variation that increase the risk of the troublesome skin condition. They also found that variations in one genetic region link psoriasis and a related joint disorder, psoriatic arthritis, to four autoimmune diseases: type 1 diabetes, Grave’s disease, celiac disease and rheumatoid arthritis.
