Causes of psoriasis-related gene

Psoriasis, a chronic skin disease and have yet to find the causes and cures. Recently, researchers have discovered a set of three genes may explain the etiology of psoriasis trouble.

Anne Bowcock, Washington University of Medicine St. Louis, USA, and his colleagues hypothesized that genes related to some other autoimmune diseases, including eczema evidence.

They studied a form of rheumatoid arthritis increases, causing inflammation (especially the joints of hands, wrists, hands, feet). Based on the research results, combined with those previously published for lupus (lupus), they concluded that a common genetic etiology of the disease is immune.

Psoriasis  by redness or white fish flakes floating on the surface of the skin, it creates a burn and itch. Approximately 30% of cases of this disease is debilitating and have symptoms like arthritis.

"The researchers will conduct further research on psoriasis in mice and some other animals in the laboratory. This finding is the first step necessary for the long-term study on the use of gene in patients, as well as treatment of psoriasis, "said Anne Bowcock.
