Genetic variation in the epidermal transglutaminase genes is not associated with atopic dermatitis.

<h4>Background</h4>Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic inflammatory skin disorder where epidermal barrier dysfunction is a major factor in the pathogenesis. The identification of AD susceptibility genes related to barrier dysfunction is therefore of importance. The epidermal trans...
