Official Title: Evaluation of the Diagnostic Value of Level of Bone Marrow Tryptase in Adult Systemic Mastocytosis
Brief Summary:
The hypothesis of the study is that Bone Marrow Tryptase (MT) level is a diagnostic marker of Systemic Mastocytosis (SM). Determination of the bone marrow tryptase in Bone Marrow Aspirate (BMA) could be a new diagnostic criteria for systemic mastocytosis with sensitivity close to 100% and a low false negative rate. This new test could be useful to improve the ability to diagnose accurately systemic mastocytosis (in particular the indolent forms). Because of its limited invasiveness compared to bone marrow biopsy, it could also be considered as a test performed before bone marrow biopsy. Only patients with high bone marrow tryptase would then undergo bone marrow biopsy.
In the future and if validated by this study, bone marrow tryptase could be a useful marker of mast cell load and help to monitor the efficacy of treatment in systemic mastocytosis.
