Unique mutations in the filaggrin gene in Japanese patients with ichthyosis vulgaris and atopic dermatitis

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

    Abstract

    Filaggrin is a key protein involved in skin barrier function. Recently, mutations in the filaggrin gene, FLG, were identified in European families with ichthyosis vulgaris (IV) and shown to be an important predisposing factor for atopic dermatitis (AD).
