Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Carriers of loss-of-function mutations in the filaggrin gene (LoF FLG) have less natural moisturizing factor (NMF) in their stratum corneum (SC) and an increased risk of atopic dermatitis (AD). Natural moisturizing factor can be measured noninvasively by Raman spectroscopy. The use of Raman-derived NMF at birth to screen for FLG genotype could inform targeted AD prevention, but values in neonatal...
