FA say that HLA B27 linked psoriasis (page 258) Kaplan confirmed that HLA B27 linked Psoriatic arthritis not psoriasis What do you think ?

You r right in FA its mentioned but I don't think HLA-B27 has anything to do with Psoriasis. But there is a strong association of HLA-B27 with developing arthritis in patients with Psoriasis. I checked this in couple of other books. HLA-B27 is not mentioned with Psoriasis anywhere except in FA.
