ABSTRACT:
By a detailed analysis of the sequences of the MHC S gene, SEEK1 gene, and HCR gene of Japanese patients with psoriasis and healthy individuals, it was demonstrated that some of the examined polymorphisms significantly correlate with psoriasis in the group of Japanese patients. Based on these correlations, it was demonstrated that psoriasis vulgaris can be detected by analyzing these gene polymorphisms in patients with psoriasis.
