Abstract

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition. The pathogenesis involves genetic, environmental, and immunological factors as well as a barrier dysfunction of the epidermis. Biomarkers may play a significant role in diagnosis, severity assessment, and treatment monitoring of AD. They are categorizable into diagnostic and prognostic as well as severity and stratification biomarkers, offering the potential for a more personalized treatment approach. Although there have been tremendous therapeutic advancements with interleukin (IL) antagonists and Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, the domain of biomarkers still requires further research to clarify their place in the diagnosis and prognosis of AD to unravel a better scientific basis for personalized medical care for patients with AD. This article reviews the various biomarkers in relation to the different AD phenotypes and endotypes.
