Yes, genes are without doubt part of the causes for psoriasis.
Prof. Dr. Van de Kerkhof, mentioned a few numbers, can't exActly reproduce them, but if you have one parent who has psoriasis, your chance as a child is about 10% to get it. If also a brother of sister has it, your chance increases to 40% if your two parents have it, you are between 50-70% chance.
This proves that genes are part of it.
But if you can switch if off by switching off genes ??? I would not know. Perhaps you can find the genes in an early stage and then do a genetherapy in advance... But when the disease already has started? I would not know. At that moment it is already in your cells.
But who knows.
