title: IL-23R gene polymorphism rs2201841 is associated with psoriatic arthritis.
abstract: We examined rs2201841 within IL-23R gene in Serbian patients with psoriasis and healthy controls. G allele frequency was significantly increased in the group of patients with psoriatic arthritis compared with controls (0.481 vs 0.308). Carriage of G allele increases risk to develop psoriatic arthritis (P = 0.009, OR = 3.311, 95% CI 1.29-8.70).
