Abstract excerpt
Tryptase, the most abundant mast cell granule protein, is elevated in severe asthma patients independent of type 2 inflammation status. Higher active β tryptase allele counts are associated with higher levels of peripheral tryptase and lower clinical benefit from anti-IgE therapies. Tryptase is a therapeutic target of interest in severe asthma and chronic spontaneous urticaria. Active and inactive allele counts...
