Advances in Medical Genetics: Unraveling the Genetic Causes of Psoriasis

The video discusses psoriasis, a condition affecting joints and mobility, and explores its contributory factors like stress and bacterial infections. It highlights significant genetic research at Leicester University, identifying a region on chromosome 6 and the CDSN gene linked to psoriasis susceptibility. The research involves studying patients and their families across the UK to trace gene prevalence. Although a cure is not imminent, these findings advance medical understanding of psoriasis.
