Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hereditary alpha-tryptasemia (HAT) is a genetic trait caused by an increased alpha-tryptase tryptase alpha/beta 1 gene copy number. Basal serum mast cell tryptase (MCT) level is typically greater than or equal to 8.0 ng/mL. OBJECTIVES: To study the clinical disease spectrum of HAT and determine its UK prevalence. METHODS: Droplet digital PCR was used to determine tryptase alpha/beta 1 copy number in...
