Disease-associated KIF3A variants alter gene methylation and expression impacting skin barrier and atopic dermatitis risk

Genetic variants in KIF3A are associated with atopic dermatitis (AD). Here, the authors identify two AD-risk alleles that show high methylation resulting in lower KIF3A expression. Mice with epidermis-specific loss of Kif3a show disrupted skin barrier homeostasis and increased AD susceptibility.
