I'm a physician who developed psoriasis recently and it has moved into my joints. It will be interesting to see how this develops and how it matches my results.

Your suggestion of some kind of visualization tool is great and something we'll definitely keep in mind for the future.

For example, IL23R alleles are implicated in psoriasis, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease. These associations can suggest similar etiologies.
