Abstract
BACKGROUND: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common skin disease characterized by recurrent episodes of itching. Genetic variation associated with the persistence of AD has not been described for African American subjects. OBJECTIVE: We sought to evaluate genetic variation of filaggrin-2 (FLG2) in African American subjects with AD. METHODS: We evaluated a multiyear prospective cohort study of African American children with AD with respect to FLG2 variation based on whole-exome sequencing, followed by a targeted analysis. We ultimately evaluated the association of rs12568784 and rs16833974 with respect to the persistence of AD symptoms over time. RESULTS: Whole-exome analysis was conducted on 60 subjects, revealing a premature stop codon in exon 3 at S2377X (rs12568784) and X2392S (rs150529054) and a large exon 3 deletion mutation, Q2053del224. On the basis of a priori criteria, we then studied rs12568784, rs16833974 (H1249R), and Q2053del224. We noted that patients with S2377X (odds ratio [OR], 0.44; 95% CI, 0.25-0.46) and H1249R (OR, 0.23; 05% CI, 0.12-0.46) were significantly less likely to be free of symptoms of AD, and Q2053del224 (OR, 0.54; 95% CI, 0.16-1.80) trended toward this outcome. S2377X and H1249R were in high linkage disequilibrium (D' = 0.95). CONCLUSIONS: In an African American cohort with AD, FLG2 mutations were associated with more persistent AD. This is the first finding of genetic variation of a skin barrier protein in subjects of African ancestry with AD.
