    Abstract Purpose of review: Mast cell (MC) activation syndromes (MCAS) are conditions defined by recurrent episodes of severe systemic anaphylaxis or similar systemic events triggered by MC-derived mediators that can be measured in biological fluids. Since some symptoms of MC activation may occur due to other, non-MC etiologies and lead to confusion over diagnosis, it is of crucial importance to document the involvement of MC and their products in the patients´ symptomatology.
    Recent findings: The most specific and generally accepted marker of severe systemic MC activation is an event-related, transient increase in the serum tryptase level over the individual baseline of the affected individual. However, baseline concentrations of serum tryptase vary among donors, depending on the genetic background, age, kidney function, and underlying disease. As a result, it is of critical importance to provide a flexible equation that defines the diagnostic increase in tryptase qualifying as MCAS criterion in all patients, all situations, and all ranges of baseline serum tryptase. In 2012, the consensus group proposed the 120% + 2 ng/ml formula, which covers the great majority of groups, including cases with low, normal, or elevated basal serum tryptase level. This formula has been validated in subsequent studies and has proven to be a robust and consistent diagnostic criterion of MCAS. The present article is discussing the impact of this formula and possible limitations as well as alternative markers and mediators that may be indicative of MCAS.

  3. Article ; Online: Case Report: A family history of peanut allergy and hereditary alpha-tryptasemia.

    Abstract Context: Hereditary alpha-tryptasemia (HαT) is associated with elevated basal serum tryptase (bST) and is associated with a higher risk of severe anaphylactic reactions in patients with clonal mast cell disorders or IgE-mediated Hymenoptera venom-induced anaphylaxis. The consequence of this genetic trait remains to be determined in other allergic diseases and food allergy in particular.
    Objectives: Here, we describe three cases of peanut allergy among siblings from a single family of four: two of them were associated with HαT, and the third one was associated with the tryptase wild-type genotype.
    Methods: TPSAB1/TPSB2
    Results: Compared to the sibling with the conventional tryptase genotype, the two siblings with HαT presented a lower peanut threshold at the initial oral food challenge, higher peanut skin prick test reactivity, higher levels of specific IgE to peanut, Ara h 2, and Ara h 6, and a lower IgG4/IgE ratio after 10 years of oral immunotherapy.
    Conclusion: The tryptase genotype and HαT status might modify the clinical presentation and biological features of food allergy.

    Abstract A KIT activating mutation (usually KIT D816V) is detected in neoplastic cells in greater than 90% of indolent patients with systemic mastocytosis (SM). In more advanced variants of SM, additional genetic defects can be found in several myeloid malignancy-related genes, which can be detected by applying next-generation sequencing. Currently, the techniques recommended to detect the KIT D816V mutation and quantify the mutational burden in peripheral blood, bone marrow, or other organs/tissues are allele specific-quantitative PCR or droplet digital PCR. These techniques are useful for diagnosis, prognostication, follow-up and monitoring of therapeutic efficacy of cytoreductive agents in patients with SM.

    Abstract Indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM) is the most prevalent form of systemic mastocytosis. Many patients with ISM suffer from mast cell (MC) mediator-related symptoms. In a small number of patients, hematologic progression is seen in the follow-up. In some patients with ISM, symptoms arising from MC-derived mediators including gastrointestinal symptoms, anaphylaxis, and neuropsychiatric symptoms are kept under control with conventional mediator-targeting drugs or MC-stabilizing agents. However, in a substantial number of patients, the symptoms are refractory to such conventional therapy. For these patients, novel drugs and targeted approaches are considered. One reasonable approach may be to apply tyrosine kinase inhibitors directed against KIT and other key kinase targets expressed in neoplastic MCs in ISM. Because MCs in more than 90% of all patients with typical ISM display the KIT D816V mutant receptor, clinically effective KIT-targeting drugs have to be active against this mutant form of KIT. The 2 such most effective and well-studied agents currently available are midostaurin and avapritinib. Other KIT-targeting drugs, such as imatinib or masitinib, are less effective or even noneffective against KIT D816V and are thus recommended for use only in patients with other KIT mutant forms (noncodon 816 mutations) or with wild-type KIT. In the present article, we review the current state in the treatment of ISM with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, with special emphasis on treatment responses and potential adverse effects. In fact, all of these agents also have unique and common adverse effects, and their use to treat patients with ISM should be balanced against their toxicity and short- and long-term safety.

    Abstract Experts of the European Competence Network on Mastocytosis (ECNM) and the American Initiative on Mast Cell Disorders have discussed and updated diagnostic criteria and the classification of mastocytosis, based on new insights in the field and data collected in recent years, mostly within ECNM registry projects in which studies on several thousand cases have been performed. Based on this proposal, the World Health Organization has updated its classification of mastocytosis. This article discusses the revised classification of mastocytosis in light of a rapidly moving field and the advent of new diagnostic parameters, new prognostication tools, and new therapies.
