Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Most adults with systemic mastocytosis (SM) carry the somatic KIT D816V mutation, but the occurrence of the mutation in lesional skin remains to be characterized. OBJECTIVE: To assess the distribution and fraction of KIT D816V mutation-positive cells in lesional skin. METHODS: Lesional skin biopsies from 29 adults with SM were analysed using sensitive and quantitative qPCR KIT D816V mutation analysis....
