Improving the diagnostic yield for filaggrin; concealed mutations in the Dutch population
This study emphasizes screening of the entire FLG gene beyond population-specific mutations. Screening was simplified by implementing single-molecule molecular-inversion-probes and NextGeneration Sequencing. The diagnostic yield of FLG mutations increased identifying novel mutations and enhancing further research opportunities.
