    Allergic diseases are some of the most common diseases worldwide. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have been conducted to elucidate the genetic factors of allergic diseases. However, no GWASs for allergen component sensitization have been performed. We sought to detect genetic variants associated with differences in immune responsiveness against allergen components. The participants of the present study were recruited from the Tokyo Children's Health, Illness, and Development study, and allergen component-specific IgE level at age 9 years was measured by means of allergen microarray immunoassays. We performed GWASs for allergen component sensitization against each allergen (single allergen component sensitization, number of allergen components analyzed, n = 31), as well as against

Screening

  • Hevea brasiliensis (latex) allergen testing Moderate

    HLA-DQA1 variants are associated with increased sensitization to natural rubber allergen components, suggesting heightened latex allergy risk

    Discuss latex allergy testing with allergist if occupational or clinical exposure risk is present
