Genetic polymorphism (rs6587666) in FLG protects from eczema in admixed Brazilian children population with high African ancestry

Genetic variants in filaggrin (FLG) are key in eczema and are less common in Africans than in Europeans and Asians. Here we examined the association between FLG Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) and eczema in a population of admixed Brazilian children and whether African ancestry modifies this...
