Ethnicity and stratum corneum ceramides
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
The barrier function of the skin is dependent on an optimal composition of the stratum corneum lipids, exemplified by the altered lipid profile in patients with atopic eczema (AE). Differences in the global prevalence of AE point to the environment as an important factor in AE. Studies on filaggrin point to a genetic aspect in AE. The influence of environment and genes needs to be explored.
