Genizon Announces Milestone in Identifying Genes in Psoriasis

Genizon BioSciences announced the confirmation of a previously reported disease-gene location, PSORS1, as well as the identification of more than 10 new regions strongly associated with psoriasis, each containing only a limited number of genes. The company will be discussing with potential pharmaceutical partners how these discoveries can translate into new therapeutics and diagnostics, leading to a Personalized Medicine approach to this disease, an approach advocated by the U.S. FDA.
