Objective: Systemic mastocytosis is a hematologic malignancy characterized by clonal expansion of neoplastic mast cells. Detection of this variation is critical for screening and diagnosis, with recent guidelines emphasizing the need for high-sensitivity assays that identify variants at a variant allele frequency below 0.05%.

The KIT receptor is a transmembrane protein found on the surface of many different cell types. Mutant forms of KIT are drivers of myeloid neoplasms, including systemic mastocytosis. The KIT D816V mutation is the most common, leading to constitutive activation of the receptor and its downstream targets, and it is highly resistant to c-KIT inhibitors.

Mastocytosis is characterized by an abnormal accumulation of mast cells (MC) in various organs. In most patients, the disease is driven by the D816V mutation, leading to activation of the KIT receptor and subsequent downstream signaling, including the JAK/STAT pathway. In recent years, KIT-targeting tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) have emerged for the treatment of systemic mastocytosis; however, the overall response rate is often not sufficient.
