Genetic loci like PSORS1 and CARD14 are significant, and environmental factors such as infections, stress, and lifestyle choices impact disease onset and severity. Stress-reducing interventions can enhance treatment efficacy. The Koebner phenomenon and the roles of innate and adaptive immunity are crucial in its pathogenesis.
