Duplex sequencing can reveal KIT mutations in a subset of patients with SM who do not have detectable mutations by ddPCR, a study found.

Results from a recent study could support more accurate diagnosis and future therapies in indolent systemic mastocytosis.

As fire ants spread to more areas, people with SM face a greater risk of severe allergic reactions from fire ant stings.

Non-white patients with systemic mastocytosis appear to have a longer diagnostic journey and a greater disease burden than white patients.

Scientists observed differences in bone marrow mast cell characteristics across different mast cell disorders.

A clinical trial is testing avapritinib and decitabine to improve outcomes for patients with SM and an associated blood cancer.

Research shows a possible link between cold urticaria and cold-induced anaphylaxis with systemic mastocytosis.

Though patients with ISM have a normal life expectancy, they need more health care visits and medications than the general population.

The HARBOR study will compare elenestinib with a placebo and best supportive care to determine its effectiveness in treating ISM.

Because SM is a rare disorder, it is sometimes diagnosed incidentally during unrelated procedures.
