Hello,

Based on your interest in the National Psoriasis Victor Henschel BioBank, we would like to call your attention to similar research being conducted by Dr. James Elder's laboratory at the University of Michigan.  Dr. Elder and his team have been studying the genetics of psoriasis for more than 15 years and have made significant contributions to our understanding of this disease.

Their Genetics of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Study is currently recruiting 2000 cases (persons affected with psoriasis) and 2000 controls (persons not affected by psoriasis).  If you are interested, please use the following link to learn more about the study and the requirements for participation:

Thank you for your continued commitment to psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis research!

Sincerely,

Nicora Gardner, MSW
