Uniting biobank resources reveals novel genetic pathways modulating susceptibility for atopic dermatitis.

Background null Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease with high heritability. Previous genome-wide association studies have identified several loci predisposing to AD. These findings explain approximately 30% of the variance in AD susceptibility, suggesting that further work is required to fully understand the genetic underpinnings. null Objective null We sought to gain additional understanding of the genetic...
