Clinical Significance
Soy component testing may help manage patients with
suspected soy allergy. IgE antibody against Gly m 4 may be
due to cross-reactivity with Birch pollen (t3) but can
still cause mild (mostly oral mucosal) symptoms after
ingestion of soy products. Sensitization to Gly m 5 and/or
Gly m 6 is more likely to represent true soy allergy and is
also associated with more severe systemic reactions.
