Zusammenfassung:Atopic dermatitis is a common inflammatory disease caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Genome‐wide association study (GWAS) is a comprehensive and unbiased approach to identify the genetic components of human diseases and to discover the cellular pathways underlying them. GWAS and recent immunochip analysis of atopic dermatitis have identified a total of 19 associated loci with a genome‐wide level of significance (P
