Abstract

BACKGROUND: There is a paucity of information about longitudinal patterns of IgE responses to allergenic proteins (components) from multiple sources. OBJECTIVES: This study sought to investigate temporal patterns of component-specific IgE responses from infancy to adolescence, and their relationship with allergic diseases. METHODS: In a population-based birth cohort, we measured IgE to 112 components at 6 follow-ups during childhood. We used a Bayesian method to discover cross-sectional sensitization patterns and their longitudinal trajectories, and we related these patterns to asthma and rhinitis in adolescence. RESULTS: We identified 1 sensitization cluster at age 1, 3 at age 3, 4 at ages 5 and 8, 5 at age 11, and 6 at age 16 years. "Broad" cluster was the only cluster present at every follow-up, comprising components from multiple sources. "Dust mite" cluster formed at age 3 years and remained unchanged to adolescence. At age 3 years, a single-component "Grass" cluster emerged, which at age 5 years absorbed additional grass components and Fel d 1 to form the "Grass/cat" cluster. Two new clusters formed at age 11 years: "Cat" cluster and "PR-10/profilin" (which divided at age 16 years into "PR-10" and "Profilin"). The strongest contemporaneous associate of asthma at age 16 years was sensitization to dust mite cluster (odds ratio: 2.6; 95% CI: 1.2-6.1; P < .05), but the strongest early life predictor of subsequent asthma was sensitization to grass/cat cluster (odds ratio: 3.5; 95% CI: 1.6-7.4; P < .01). CONCLUSIONS: We describe the architecture of the evolution of IgE responses to multiple allergen components throughout childhood, which may facilitate development of better diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for allergic diseases.

  • Studies using component-resolved diagnostics have identified different cross-sectional and longitudinal patterns of component-specific IgE responses associated with different risk of asthma presence, persistence and severity in children.

    “Further studies using component-resolved diagnostics rather than standard skin and blood tests to whole allergen extracts have identified different cross-sectional and longitudinal patterns of component-specific IgE responses associated with different risk of asthma presence, persistence and severity in children (90–93).”

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.
