41 individuals were successfully genotyped. Three individuals were filaggrin mutation carriers. One (2.4%) was a 2282del4 heterozygote and two (4.9%) were R501X heterozygote. No homozygote or compound heterozygote carriers were detected. No association between filaggrin null mutations and type I latex allergy was found (p = 0.24). Patients with type I latex allergy more often reported contact dermatitis.
