Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease with a strong genetic background, particularly the human leukocyte antigen (HLA). HLA-Cw6 has been shown to be the major disease susceptibility locus and affects the phenotypes and treatment response in psoriasis; however, the prevalence of HLA-Cw6 is far lower than HLA-Cw1 in some Asian countries.
