Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with a strong genetic background. One of the characteristic features of AD and causative factor for the disease is an impaired epidermal skin barrier based on a primary defect of epidermal differentiation. OBJECTIVES: Recently, 2 loss-of-function mutations (R501X and 2282derl4) in the filaggrin gene (FLG) that cause ichthyosis vulgaris, one of the most common inherited skin disorders of keratinization, have been reported t...     »
