Breakpoints in alpha, beta, and satellite III DNA sequences of chromosome 9 result in a variety of pericentric inversions.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Psoriasis is an immune-mediated skin disorder that is inherited as a multifactorial trait. Linkage analyses have clearly mapped a primary disease susceptibility locus to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region on chromosome 6p21. More recently, whole-genome association studies have identified two n...
