The genetic diversity of wheat may be used for the selection of wheat species with a lower content of allergens. The major allergens in exercise-induced anaphylaxis (EIA) due to common wheat, 蠅5-gliadins, are not expressed in some bread wheat varieties carrying a translocation with rye. For patients suffering from EIA, in vitro IgE reactivity to gliadins extracted from these varieties with the translocation is greatly decreased; however, residual reactivity remains, mainly due to low Mr glutenin subunits. Lipid transfer protein (LTP) can also be involved in a few cases of EIA due to wheat. Allergic patients may be tempted to eat older wheat species (such as einkorn, spelt or Kamut庐); however, these wheat species are not devoid of 蠅5-gliadins or other wheat allergens. Consequently, there is currently no wheat flour, which is completely safe for wheat-sensitive patients who suffer from EIA.
