This review explores geographical variances in CRD for food and aeroallergens across the Asia-Pacific region. We examine the varying prevalence of allergic diseases and the utility of CRD in diagnosing common food allergies, including peanut, shellfish, fish, wheat, and fruits. Notable differences in serum-specific (sp)IgE sensitization patterns and the clinical relevance of particular allergen components are observed between populations in Asian countries and those in Europe and the United States. For food allergies, the literature reports significant differences in allergen components and their diagnostic utility across various countries. Peanut allergy diagnostics, particularly Ara h 2 spIgE, show varying sensitivity and specificity between Asian and Western populations. In shellfish allergy, emerging allergens beyond tropomyosin are gaining importance in the Asia-Pacific region. Fish and wheat allergies also demonstrate unique sensitization patterns, emphasizing the need for region-specific diagnostic approaches. Regarding aeroallergens, pollen sensitization profiles vary widely across the region, influenced by local flora and climate, to influence symptoms of pollen food allergy syndrome. House dust mite allergens remain a significant concern, with high sensitization rates to major components like Der p 1, Der p 2, and the emerging Der p 23. The cross-reactivity between house dust mite and shellfish allergens is particularly relevant in this region. These findings emphasize the need for region-specific CRD approaches, considering local allergen profiles and sensitization patterns. As the prevalence of allergic diseases continues to rise in the Asia-Pacific, further research into locally relevant allergens and their components is crucial for improving diagnosis, patient management, and targeted immunotherapy strategies in this diverse region.
