Large Scale Meta-analysis Characterizes Genetic Architecture for Common Psoriasis-associated Variants

The genotypes obtained from the Affymetrix Biobank Plus array constituted one of eight Caucasian datasets used in a large genome-wide meta-analysis of the association of psoriasis cases versus unaffected controls. With a combined effective sample size of > 39,000 individuals, this study identified 16 new psoriasis loci achieving genome-wide significance, increasing the total number of identified psoriasis loci for European-ancestry populations to 63.
