Influential genes: CA1
The CA1 gene has been associated with zinc levels in a GWAS study.
Zinc is an essential mineral that is necessary for many functions of the human body. It is needed for maintaining a healthy immune system, wound healing, insulin production and neurological function. It also plays a large role in cell division, muscle growth and physical development.
Zinc deficiency can result in skin issues resembling eczema. However, the rash doesn't get better with creams or lotions. It may appear as cracked or glazed skin, especially around mouth and hands. A negative effect on the immune system, GIT and wound healing has also been observed.
