Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Deleterious variation in the epidermal differentiation complex (EDC) on chromosome 1 is a well-known genetic determinant of atopic dermatitis (AD) and has been associated with risk of peanut allergy (PA) in population-based studies. OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to determine the effect of genetic variation in the EDC on AD trajectory and risk of PA in early life. METHODS: Genome sequencing was used to...
