title: Lack of association between psoriasis vulgaris and red cell acid phosphatase polymorphism.
abstract: Polymorphism of red cell acid phosphatase (ACP-1; E.C. 3.1.3.2.) has been studied using the Cellogel technique of Martin et al. (1975) in 102 patients with psoriasis and 102 healthy controls. In contrast to two previous reports, no anomalies in distribution of phenotypes were found in patients or in controls.
