Summary Background Recent work using genome–wide association studies ( GWAS ) in Chinese Han and white populations have discovered several novel psoriasis susceptibility genes. Aim To examine whether the risk loci for psoriasis identified in previous GWAS in a white population are also associated with psoriasis in a C hinese U ygur population in X injiang. Methods Genotyping analysis of eight single‐nucleotide polymorphisms ( SNP s) associated with psoriasis was performed for 539 patients with psoriasis and 749 controls, all of C hinese U ygur descent, using a commercial assay. Results Two SNP s had an association with psoriasis in this C hinese U ygur population: SNP rs495337 in the gene encoding for zinc finger protein 313 ( P  < 0.001; OR  = 0.80) and SNP rs20541 of the gene encoding for interleukin‐13 ( P  < 0.001; OR  = 0.82). In subgroup analyses, the two SNP s were significantly associated ( P  < 0.05) with type I psoriasis, Rs495337 showed statistically difference between positive family history of psoriasis patients and controls whereas rs20541 might preferentially associated with negative family history psoriasis patients. Interestingly, using multifactor dimensionality reduction, a significant two‐locus interaction was seen between rs495337 and rs20541, with a crossvalidation consistency of 4/5 and average balanced prediction (accuracy 55.5%, P  < 0.001). Conclusions ZNF 313 and IL ‐13 are associated with risk for psoriasis in a C hinese U ygur population, and there is an effect of interaction between the two genes on this risk.
