RNAseq of human buttock skin from patients with solar urticaria exposed to solar simulated radiation

Solar urticaria (SU) is clinically characterised by rapid onset sunlight-induced urticaria, but its cutaneous pathophysiology is not well understood. The aim of this study was to investigate cutaneous cellular and molecular events in the evolution of SU responses following solar simulated ultraviolet radiation (SSR) exposure, and compare with responses in healthy controls (HC). Cutaneous biopsies were taken from unexposed skin and from skin exposed to a single low (physiological) dose of SSR, at 30 minutes, 3 hours and 24 hours post-exposure, in n=6 SU patients and n=6 HC. Biopsies were assessed by immunohistochemistry (n=6 SU, n=6 HC) and RNA-sequencing analysis (n=4 SU, n=4 HC). This dataset contains RNAseq data from the SU patients.
