Further association analysis of chr 6q22-24 suggests a role of IL-20RA polymorphisms in psoriasis

In our previous studies we obtained evidence that the interleukin-19 (IL19) gene cluster and interleukin-20 receptor alpha (IL20RA) gene may represent susceptibility regions for psoriasis [1], [2], [3]. The aim of the present study was to scan an additional set of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the chromosomal region 6q22-24, which contains IL20RA, the genes for interleukin-22 receptor alpha 2 (IL22RA2) and interferon-gamma receptor 1 (IFNGR1) for association with psoriasis...
