Research Abstract |
CCL22 gene plays an important role in atopic dermatitis (AD). We surveyed genetic variations and conducted association studies of the gene in two independent Japanese populations. We observed a strong association between a CCL22 SNP and AD (P=.0000089, combined by the Mantel-Haenszel meta-analysis ; OR, 1.35 ; 95% CI, 1.18-1.54). The susceptible allele showed higher mRNA expression in ASTQ analysis. The polymorphism of the CCL22 gene might be involved in atopic dermatitis in a gain of function manner.
