Abstract

Atopic dermatitis is one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood and closely related to other clinical manifestations of allergy. The incidence is high and still increasing. The genetic contribution to disease development is substantial and complex. Only recently genetic research has begun to focus on this phenotype, and specific susceptibility genes remain to be found. To identify candidate regions holding genes for atopic dermatitis we performed a genome-scan in Danish affected sib-pair families containing sib-pairs matching a phenotype definition of both clinical atopic dermatitis and confirmed specific allergy. The scan was undertaken using 446 microsatellite markers and non-parametric linkage results were obtained from the MAPMAKER/SIBS computer program. We found evidence of linkage to three candidate regions in chromosomes 3p (MLS=2.14), 4p (MLS=2.00) and 18q (MLS=2.25), one of which has not been reported previously. Eight additional regions showed weaker but positive results.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus.
