Article Synopsis
- - Mast cell tumors, such as mastocytoma (MCT) and systemic mastocytosis (SM), are diseases found in various species, including dogs, cats, and humans, with specific genetic mutations commonly identified.
- - In humans, 80% of mastocytosis cases exhibit the p.D816H gene mutation, while about 25% of MCT cases can metastasize, with overexpression of certain genes promoting this process.
- - Research indicates that a specific gene panel can effectively differentiate between healthy dogs and those affected by MCT, highlighting the potential for advancements in diagnosis and treatment based on understanding mast cell biology.
