2 Fig 1 Box-and-whiskers plot cytokine levels in the SC by FLG genotype showing the median (midline) and interquartile ranges. ∗P < .05 and ∗∗∗P < .001, as determined by using Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn multiple comparison tests. The differences in IL-18 and IL-1RA levels between the ADNON-FLG and ADFLG groups have been tested by using the 2-sided Mann-Whitney test.

3 Fig 2 Correlation between levels of cytokines and NMF in the SC of patients with AD. Correlations are unadjusted for FLG mutations. a.u., Arbitrary units; r, Spearman (2-tailed) correlation coefficient.

4 Fig 3 Distribution of pH values according to FLG status (mean ± SD). ∗∗P < .01, as determined by using the ANOVA post hoc Tukey test. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology  , e1DOI: ( /j.jaci ) Copyright © 2012 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Terms and Conditions

5 Fig 4 Skin pH values in relation to NMF levels. Left, Patients with ADFLG. Right, Patients with ADFLG plus patients with ADNON-FLG. a.u., Arbitrary units; r, Pearson (2-tailed) correlation coefficient.

6 Fig 5 A and B, Expression of IL-1α and IL-1β in keratinocytes and skin from Flgft/Flgft mice. mRNA expression of IL-1β and IL-1RA in primary epidermal keratinocytes in the proliferative (Fig 5, A) and terminal differentiation (Fig 5, B) states. C, IL-1α and IL-1β mRNA expression in dorsal murine skin. Data are representative of 3 independent experiments (means ± SEMs). ∗P < .05.

7 Fig E1 Levels of IL-1α in the SC of healthy control subjects and patients with AD FLG genotype. The differences have been tested by using the Student t test (∗P < .05). Data are presented as mean values ± SDs. CTRL+/+, Homozygote wild-type subject without AD.
