This study is looking into whether a specific genetic difference, called the IL-4Ra R576 polymorphism, is linked to more severe atopic dermatitis (a type of eczema). Researchers want to see if this genetic difference is connected to changes in your body's immune system and the types of microbes on your skin. You can join if you are 6 to 65 years old and have atopic dermatitis. The study will measure the severity of your atopic dermatitis at the beginning of the study. The current recruitment status is unclear.
