BACKGROUND: Upon skin contact to irritants, interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1α) is released in the stratum corneum as a primary step of skin inflammation. Variations in the IL-1A gene have been shown to alter the expression of IL-1α. This may influence the susceptibility to skin inflammation and the development of irritant contact dermatitis (ICD).
