Discovered six new genes causing psoriasis

International team of scientists including more than 30 experts from Anhui University, Fu Dan University (China), University of Michigan, Washington University (USA) and McGill University (Germany) have discovered six genes New cause of psoriasis.

Six new psoriasis genes were discovered by scientists based on the use of genome-wide association study (GWAS). This is a method of research in the international recognition and identification of complex pathogenic genes.

In recent years, through the application of scientific method of scientific analysis of GWAS, nearly 3,000 genes have been discovered, causing nearly 200 different complex diseases such as cancer, mental illness, metabolic disease, immune disease. , Infectious Diseases.

The GWAS analysis method has helped to promote human awareness of complex genetic disease mechanisms, and is one of the most effective methods of detecting disease-causing genes.

The discovery of six new genes causing psoriasis is important for the scientific community to develop a gene map of psoriasis and further understand the pathogenesis of this disease.

In addition, the above results also provide scientific bases for warning, genetic counseling, clinical diagnosis and preparation of new medicines related to psoriasis.
