Characteristics.

<p>Characteristics of 240 infants, recruited from the general population in Oslo and Fredrikstad, Norway, of whom 167 were included and 73 excluded from the analyses. Exclusions were done due to crying during the measuring transepidermal water loss (n = 7) and/or measuring conditions not fulfilling strict environmental criteria for humidity and/or temperature (n = 66). All values are given as number (percentage), unless otherwise stated.</p><p>Characteristics.</p

<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> colonization and transepidermal waterloss.

<p>Boxplot showing <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (<i>S</i>. <i>aureus</i>) colonization in vestibulum nasi and/or fauces in 89 (53%) of 167 infants recruited from the general population was not significantly associated with the estimated mean transepidermal waterloss (TEWL; g/m²h^-1) on the lateral upper arm.</p

Transepidermal waterloss and <i>filaggrin</i> mutation.

<p>Boxplot showing <i>filaggrin</i> (<i>FLG</i>) mutation identified in 14 (8%) of 167 infants recruited from the general population and transepidermal water loss (TEWL; g/m²h^-1) on the lateral upper arm. <i>FLG</i> mutations were associated with increased TEWL (p = 0.006).</p

<i>TGM1</i>, <i>TGM3</i> and <i>TGM5</i> gene expression in the skin of AD patients and healthy controls.

<p>TGM transcript levels (A, E and I) of healthy controls (HC, n = 10) non lesional skin of AD patients (NL, n = 7) and lesional skin from AD patients (L, n = 10). Horizontal bars represent median values in each group and data is presented on a logaritmic scale. For IHC analysis of the TG protein expression, skin sections from nine AD patients and ten healthy controls were stained. Representative staining from one healthy control and one patient is shown in the figure for TG1 (B–D), TG3 (F–H) and TG5 (J–L) expression. Scale bar represents 50 µm.</p
