The HLA-Cw 0602 has been associated with psoriasis in different ethnic groups. But, it remains unclear whether HLA-C is the PSORS1 gene (the psoriasis gene in the MHC). Thus, several case-control studies have been p...
Psoriasis is a multifactorial disease with a strong genetic background. It associates strongly to HLA-Cw 0602. HLA-C interacts with killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) on natural killer (NK) and some natural ...
Human leukocyte antigen(HLA)-Cw6 has long been associated with psoriasis, and PSORS1 (psoriasis susceptibility 1), a major gene for psoriasis susceptibility, has been mapped to its vicinity. A previous analysis identi...
Background: Although psoriasis vulgaris (PV) is strongly associated with HLA Cw 0602, it has been proposed that the association of Cw 0602 is due to linkage disequilibrium and that other nearby genes are involved in P...
