Bone complications of mastocytosis: a link between clinical and biological characteristics.

Objectives: Mastocytosis is a heterogeneous group of clonal mast cell disorders in which bone manifestations are frequently seen, but poorly understood. In this study, we analyzed correlation of clinical findings in mastocytosis patients with bone mineral density and bone turnover markers.

Methods: Serum levels of bone turnover markers were measured in mastocytosis patients and healthy volunteers.
