Abstract
The epidermal differentiation complex gene cluster is on chromosome region 1q21.3, where the PSORS4 locus was mapped. A common deletion of two LCE genes (LCE3C_LCE3B-del) was associated with psoriasis. Individuals homozygous for the deletion have an impaired response of the skin barrier to exogenous agents, facilitating the systemic skin inflammation characteristic of psoriasis.Entities:
