Overview

Atopic dermatitis is a multifactorial, chronic inflammatory skin disease as a result of interactions between various genetic, immune and environmental factors.

Risk Factors

The most potent risk factor in the development of atopic dermatitis is family history or personal history of atopy.

Common Risk Factors

  • Common risk factors in the development of atopic dermatitis include:
    • Family history of atopic dermatitis or other atopy[1]
      • 70% of atopic dermatitis patients have a positive family history of atopic diseases
      • Risk of developing atopic dermatitis is 2- to 3-fold higher in children with 1 atopic parent[2]
      • Risk of developing atopic dermatitis is 3- to 5-fold higher in children with both atopic parents.[3]
    • Loss of function mutations in the filaggrin (FLG) gene[4]
      • Risk for earlier-onset atopic dermatitis
      • Risk for severe and persistent atopic dermatitis
    • Personal history of atopy (asthma, allergic rhinitis, food allergy)[5]

Less Common Risk Factors

  • Less common risk factors in the development of atopic dermatitis include:
