Mashup Score: 2Randomized controlled trial of omalizumab in treatment-resistant systemic and cutaneous mastocytosis (ROAM) - 9 month(s) ago
Mastocytosis is a rare clonal disorder of mast cells, manifestations of which are protean and can include anaphylaxis, urticaria/angioedema, malabsorption, and osteoporosis. Although there is no known cure, treatments include antimediator medications and cytoreductive therapy.1 More recent treatments include agents targeting the commonly associated mutations in the KIT receptor (CD117), but these can have significant adverse effects.2

Mashup Score: 0Reply to “MRGPRX2: A novel biomarker in mastocytosis?” - 1 year(s) ago
We read with interest the correspondence from Konantz and colleagues1 and are in complete agreement with their conclusion that the significance of Mas-related G protein–coupled receptor X2 (MRGPRX2) expression by mast cells in the skin of patients with mastocytosis remains of unknown significance and requires further study and insight. The observation that serum levels of MRGPX2 in patients with…

Mashup Score: 1
Mastocytosis encompasses a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by tissue accumulation of clonal mast cells (MC), which frequently includes bone involvement. Several cytokines have been shown to play a role in the pathogenesis of bone mass loss in systemic mastocytosis (SM), but their role in SM-associated osteosclerosis remains unknown.
