ABSTRACT The primary features of the alpha‐gal syndrome (AGS) are (i) The IgE ab that are causally related to anaphylaxis with infusions of Cetuximab are specific for galactose alpha‐1,3‐galactose. (ii) In the USA, this IgE ab is induced by bites of the tick Amblyomma americanum. (iii) The anaphylactic reactions to food derived from non‐primate mammals

This study examines chitinase‐3‐like 1 protein (CHI3L1) as a diagnostic tool for patients with cognitive and movement disorders. Serum CHI3L1 levels correlate with neurofilament light chain and cognitive impairment measured by the Mini‐Mental State Examination (MMSE). CHI3L1 may serve as a supportive biomarker in these diseases.
