The results of a study based on(1) a sample of 9000 cases of psoriosis, (2) a more specific sample of 2000 patients of psoriasis with one family member also affected, and (3) a small sample of affected twins, lead to the tentative conclusion that disposition to psoriasis may well be the result of a differential time of decay of the genetic information.
