Evaluation of the psoriasis transcriptome across different studies by gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA).
<h4>Background</h4>Our objective was to develop a consistent molecular definition of psoriasis. There have been several published microarray studies of psoriasis, and we compared disease-related genes identified across these different studies of psoriasis with our own in order to establi...
