Childhood psoriasis: Disease spectrum, comorbidities, and challengesSoumajyoti Sarkar, Sandipan Dhar, Siba P RaychaudhuriIndian Journal of Paediatric Dermatology 2019 20(3):191-198Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory, papulosquamous disorder with a variable clinical spectrum. Although it affects population of all age groups, the significance and negative impact of childhood psoriasis is often neglected worldwide. In nearly one-third of the psoriatic population, psoriasis appears during the childhood....

An exceptional contribution of cis-regulatory divergence has been found to contribute to morphological diversification. In the light of these findings, the analysis of genome-wide expression data has become one of the central tools...
