Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is associated with null mutations in the filaggrin (FLG) gene. OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of FLG null mutations on biophysical properties and the molecular composition of the stratum corneum (SC) in healthy individuals and AD patients. METHODS: A total of 196 French adults, including 97 with a history of mild to moderate AD, were genotyped for the three major European FLG...
