As publications on genetic predispositions to atopic eczema and psoriasis are numerous, the respective results were tabulated in order to provide a comprehensive survey. In addition, meta-analyses were performed which validated a number of genetic predispositions besides the major risk factors, FLG for atopic eczema and HLA-Cw6 for psoriasis. An overlap of susceptibility loci for both diseases was investigated at gene level where conincidences in the epidermal differentiation complex on chromosome 1q21 and in IL13 on chromosome 5q31.1-q33.1 were found.
