Genetics and Gene Therapies

This page is also a listing of treatments which fall into the "genetic therapy" category in some way, and which do not present themselves as being more suitable in another treatment category here on this site. In other words, it's another "other" category, but specifically for therapies which are based, in some way, on our DNA.

As more and more is learned about the genetics of psoriasis, this page should grow quickly.
