BackgroundHyperlinear palms are described as a feature of loss-of-function (LoF) variants infilaggrin(FLG).ObjectivesTo explore the phenotype of participants (age < 31 years) with atopic eczema of Bangladeshi ancestry from East London and investigate which factors best associate with LoFFLGvariants.MethodsA cross-sectional study with participants recruited between May 2018 and December 2020. Patterns of palmar linearity were categorized and modelled with the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI), transepidermal water loss (TEWL), skin hydration (SH) and LoFFLGvariants.ResultsThere were 506 complete cases available. Five palm patterns were noted. The ‘prominent diamond’ pattern associated best with EASI [marginal effects (ME) 2.53, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.74–3.67], SH (ME 0.85, 95% CI 0.78–0.96) and TEWL (ME 1.32, 95% CI 1.11–1.62). Using five palm patterns had some ability to discriminate LoFFLGvariants [area under the receiver operator characteristic (AUROC) 76.32%, 95% CI 71.91–80.73], improving to 77.99% (73.70–82.28) with the addition of SH. In subgroup analysis with only fine perpendicular/prominent diamond patterns the AUROC was 89.11% (95% CI 84.02–94.19).ConclusionsThis was a single-centre study design with humans classifying clinical patterns. The stability of temperature and humidity was not guaranteed across TEWL and SH measurements despite using a climate-controlled room. Palm patterns associate with EASI and TEWL. The fine perpendicular/prominent diamond patterns are markers to detect the absence/presence of LoFFLGvariants, respectively.
