SNPing at the Epidermal Barrier
2011
Filaggrin variants are well-established risk factors for atopic eczema (AE). Recent studies suggest additional epidermal differentiation complex (EDC) gene associations with AE. In this issue, Marenholz and colleagues confirm this prediction and show that a small proline-rich protein 3 (SPRR3) variant confers susceptibility to AE. This finding suggests that further genetic and functional characterization of SPRR3 should be performed in patients with AE.
