  • PsA, psoriatic arthritis. Type I, patients with PsA with type I psoriasis; type II, patients with PsA with type II psoriasis.

  • *Comparison of phenotype (carriage of one or two alleles) with population controls using the χ2 test.

  • Data shown in n (%). Data were not available for three patients as to the type of psoriasis present.
