Three genes associated with eczema

A British "Nature Genetics" magazine reported that multi-country researchers found three new gene related to eczema, eczema genetic investigation of this so far the biggest help in-depth study of principles and research treatment methods.

UK, U.S., Australia and other researchers investigating the genetic data of about 10 000 patients with eczema, and the other 40,000 genes were compared, and ultimately found three genes associated with eczema. Among them, the code for genes OVOL1 and ACTL9 with skin functions, code-named IL4-KIF3A genes with immune system function related.
Researchers at the University of Bristol, UK Ravi Antonia Paternoster said this study shows that the cause of eczema in the two areas of the skin and immune system, which will help the development of new diagnostic and treatment approach.
Eczema is a cause to the skin erythema and even erosion of the common skin disease, multiple children, some adult will repeatedly attack. Genetic According to statistics, if a parent has suffered from eczema, children suffering from eczema, 60%; if both parents suffered from eczema, while the proportion of sick children up to 80%. Therefore, the analysis is very important for the study of this disease at the genetic level.
