Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A subset of atopic dermatitis is associated with increased susceptibility to eczema herpeticum (ADEH+). We previously reported that common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IFN-γ (IFNG) and IFN-γ receptor 1 (IFNGR1) genes were associated with the ADEH+ phenotype. OBJECTIVE: We sought to interrogate the role of rare variants in interferon pathway genes for the risk of ADEH+. METHODS: We...
