Resistin Gene Promoter -420C>G (rs1862513) and +299 G>A (rs3745367) Polymorphisms in Psoriasis.

Background: The pro-inflammatory adipokine resistin is known to be related to obesity, insulin resistance, and inflammation. Resistin's significance in the etiology of inflammatory illnesses, such as psoriasis, is explored herein. We examined the link between resistin gene polymorphisms (-420 C>G and +299 G>A) and psoriasis in the Turkish population.
