Abstract excerpt
Mastocytosis is a neoplastic disease caused at least in part by somatic mutations of the c-KIT proto-oncogene resulting in constitutive activation of its protein product, KIT, the receptor tyrosine kinase for stem cell factor. KIT stimulates mast cell proliferation and prevents apoptosis of neopl...
