Toll-like receptors 2 polymorphism is associated with psoriasis: A case-control study in the northern Chinese population

Abstract

Psoriasis is a disease caused by genetics and immune system dysfunction, affecting the skin and joints. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play an important role in triggering the innate immune response and controlling adaptive immunity. The role of TLR2 in the progression of psoriasis is not well understood.
