    constitutional     --over  
    in psoriatic lesions, suggesting that compromised skin barrier function has a role in psoriasis susceptibility (De Cid 2009)
    constitutional   deletion    
    deletion of LCE3B and LCE3C (LCE3C_LCE3B-del) is significantly associated with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis
