A genome-wide association meta-analysis involving over 250,000 cases and 1,370,000 controls identified 30 significant genetic loci linked to the condition. Key associations were found with genes related to keratin lifecycle, skin integrity, immune defense, and obesity, such as ZNF646, HLA-DQB1, FLG, FTO, SLURP2, and KRT77.
