Summary

This is a joint research study between The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and The University of Hong Kong (HKU) as titled above. In view of the increasing prevalence of atopic dermatitis (AD), the lack of complete epidemiology data on childhood and adult AD in Hong Kong and the lack of complete understanding on the genetic and environmental factors associated with it, the purpose of this study to carry out an epidemiology and genetic study that targets AD patients within the local Hong Kong population.

The investigators will search for new AD-associated genetic variants that are related to the local population and believe that the genetic profiles that arise from this project will form an important basis for the future management and treatment of AD, such as disease-risk screening strategy and therapeutic target development.
