BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that filaggrin gene (FLG) mutations are positively associated with sensitization to aero allergens. We hypothesized that FLG mutations would also have an effect on the mean size of positive skin prick test (SPT) reactions as well as the number of positive reactions. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of FLG mutations on the mean size and the number of positive SPT reactions, as...
