Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Clinical manifestations of indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM) comprise mediator-related symptoms, anaphylaxis, and osteoporosis. A new sensitive method for KIT D816V mutation detection allows quantification of the level of mutation-positive cells. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the fraction of KIT D816V positive cells in peripheral blood (PB) or bone marrow (BM) aspirate in adult patients with...
