  • Serum tryptase baseline concentrations differ according to the underlying disease and the person's genetic makeup.

    “the baseline level of tryptase varies depending on the underlying disease and the genetic background.”

    From Why the 20% + 2 Tryptase Formula Is a Diagnostic Gold Standard for Severe Systemic Mast Cell Activation and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (2019) · cites this paper as [28]

    In “To the Editor” (page not provided), the authors report elevated basal tryptase segregating in nine families with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern, supporting the genetic-background part of the claim. They associate elevated tryptase with clinical features but do not establish that baseline concentrations vary according to the underlying disease; they say whether the elevation is primary or secondary remains under investigation. (LLM, conf=0.85)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Several genetic, inflammatory, and neoplastic conditions are linked to raised basal serum tryptase.

    “Thus, a number of genetic, inflammatory, and neoplastic conditions are associated with an increased basal serum tryptase level.”

    From Why the 20% + 2 Tryptase Formula Is a Diagnostic Gold Standard for Severe Systemic Mast Cell Activation and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (2019) · cites this paper as [28]

    In “To the Editor” (page not specified), the paper reports elevated basal tryptase inherited in nine families and associated with atopic and gastrointestinal conditions, including eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease. It discusses systemic mastocytosis, but excludes that diagnosis in the patients evaluated; it does not establish the broader claim that a number of neoplastic conditions are associated with raised basal tryptase. (LLM, conf=0.82)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • These conditions include tryptase gene replications such as hereditary alpha tryptasemia, chronic infections such as helminth infections, renal insufficiency especially in hemodialysis patients, and myeloid neoplasms including myelodysplastic syndromes, systemic mastocytosis, acute myeloid leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, and chronic eosinophilic leukemia.

    “These include tryptase gene replications such as hereditary alpha tryptasemia; chronic infections, such as helminth infections; renal insufficiency – especially hemodialysis patients; and myeloid neoplasms, including myelodysplastic syndromes, SM, acute myeloid leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and chronic eosinophilic leukemia [25–33].”

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Hereditary alpha-tryptasemia is an autosomal dominant condition defined by germline replications, usually duplications or triplications, of the TPSAB1 gene encoding alpha-tryptase.

    “hereditary alpha-tryptasemia, an autosomal dominant condition defined by germline replications (usually duplications or triplications) of the TPSAB1 gene encoding alpha-tryptase (64-67).”

    From Proposed Diagnostic Algorithm for Patients with Suspected Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (2019) · cites this paper as [64]

    The “To the Editor” section reports an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern of elevated basal serum tryptase in nine families. It does not identify TPSAB1 duplications or triplications as the cause; the authors say additional genetic study is ongoing. (LLM, conf=0.90)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • In some cases, patients with HαT do present with a clinical picture dominated by mediator-related symptoms (i.e., vibratory urticaria, flushing, abdominal cramps, headache, dysautonomia, etc.).

    “In some cases, patients with HαT do present with a clinical picture dominated by mediator-related symptoms (i.e., vibratory urticaria, flushing, abdominal cramps, headache, dysautonomia, etc.) [15,16,45].”

    From Diagnostic Significance of Tryptase for Suspected Mast Cell Disorders (2023) · cites this paper as [45]

    In “To the Editor” (page unavailable), the paper reports that 26/33 people with inherited elevated tryptase had urticaria, flushing, or cramping abdominal pain consistent with mast-cell degranulation; vibration could trigger these symptoms. It also reports autonomic dysfunction, but does not mention headache or establish that the autonomic symptoms were mediator-related. The paper describes inherited tryptasemia rather than identifying the genetic basis denoted by HαT. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
