Genetic Changes in Mastocytes and Their Significance in Mast Cell Tumor Prognosis and Treatment
22 Jan 2024
Abstract excerpt
Mast cell tumors are a large group of diseases occurring in dogs, cats, mice, as well as in humans. Systemic mastocytosis (SM) is a disease involving the accumulation of mast cells in organs. KIT gene mutations are very often seen in abnormal mast cells. In SM, high KIT/CD117 expression is observed; however, there are usually no KIT gene mutations present. Mastocytoma (MCT)—a form of cutaneous neoplasm—is common...
