Abstract excerpt
Atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis are common skin diseases characterized by cutaneous inflammation and disturbed epidermal differentiation. Genome-wide analyses have shown overlapping susceptibility loci, such as the epidermal differentiation complex on chromosome 1q21. Recently, a deletion on 1q21 (LCE3C_LCE3B-del), comprising LCE3B and LCE3C, two members of the late cornified envelope (LCE) gene cluster, was...
