Both SNPs were found to be highly associated with susceptibility to PsA (rs1800925 ptrend = 6.1 × 10(-5) OR 1.33, rs20541 ptrend = 8.0 × 10(-4) OR 1.27), but neither SNP was significantly associated with susceptibility to PsV.
The authors genotyped three groups of Caucasians: those with PsA, those with psoriasis without arthritis (PsC) and healthy controls for the rs20541 and rs848 IL13 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
