Another cluster of SNPs exhibiting significant p-values after Bonferroni correction in Figure 1B were between HLA-B and MICA. The most significant genotyped SNP of these, rs13437088, is located 30 kb centromeric of HLA-B and 16 kb telomeric of MICA. The minor allele of this SNP, T, had an allele frequency of 0.26 in controls, and was associated with an increased risk of psoriasis (OR = 1.32 [1.17–1.49], p = 9×10−6). Here, HLA-B is linked to psoriasis.
