Role of parental atopy in cow's milk allergy: a population-based study.

CONCLUSION: In families with children with persistent IgE-CMA, self-reporting of atopy by parents may be biased. Furthermore, the demonstration of IgE-mediated responses to allergens in parents is insufficient by itself, in a general population cohort, to predict which infants are at greatest risk of developing IgE-CMA.
