Overview
Risk factors of eczema include family history and FLG gene mutation.
Risk Factors
- Genetics is the strongest identifiable factor associated with development of eczema. [1]
- Risk factors of eczema include family history and FLG gene mutation. [2]
- 34 genetic loci have been identified based on genome-wide association studies that accounts for almost 20% of eczema inheritance. [3]
- The profilaggrin protein of the FLG gene maintains the intactness of the skin. [4]
- Peanut allergy, herpes virus, and contact dermatitis were found to be associated with FLG gene mutation.[5] [6]
