Abstract excerpt
Loss-of-function (LoF) variants in the filaggrin (FLG) gene are the strongest known genetic risk factor for atopic dermatitis (AD), but the impact of these variants on AD outcomes is poorly understood. We comprehensively identified genetic variants through targeted region sequencing of FLG in children participating in the Mechanisms of Progression of Atopic Dermatitis to Asthma in Children cohort. Twenty FLG LoF...
