What Have We Learned from GWAS for Atopic Dermatitis?

The Journal of Investigative Dermatology
Sara J Brown

Abstract

GWASs have revealed multiple loci associated with atopic dermatitis (AD). Some have confirmed pre-existing knowledge, including the role of skin barrier and type 2 inflammation in AD pathogenesis, whereas others have provided newer insights, including evidence of autoimmunity and previously unrecognized genes controlling epidermal differentiation. The majority of risk loci are in intergenic regions for which functional mechanism(s) remain unknown. These loci require detailed molecular studies carried out in cells and tissues of relevance to AD. Genomic findings to date account for ∼30% of AD heritability, therefore, considerable further work is needed to fully understand individual risk.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

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. Discover the latest research on atopic dermatitis here.
