Journal of allergy and clinical immunology, 06/2024Journal Article
Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) is a term applied to several clinical entities which have gained increased attention from patients and medical providers. While several descriptive publications about MCAS exist, there are many gaps in knowledge resulting in confusion about this clinical syndrome. Whether MCAS is a primary syndrome or exists as a constellation of symptoms in the context of known inflammatory, allergic, or clonal disorders associated with systemic mast cell (MC) activation is not well understood. More importantly, the underlying mechanisms and pathways that lead to MC activation in MCAS patients remain to be elucidated. The purpose of this manuscript is to summarize the known literature, identify gaps in knowledge, and highlight research needs. Several topics are covered: 1) Contextualization of MCAS and MCAS-like endotypes and related diagnostic evaluations; 2) Mechanistic research; 3) Management of typical and refractory symptoms, and 4) MCAS-specific education for patients and healthcare providers.
