Homocysteinemia may be due to a genetic predisposition to abnormal activity in the same pathways as homocystinuria. Nutritional and environmental factors, as well as specific medications, may worsen this abnormality and provoke symptoms. An increased homocysteine level is associated with a higher risk of strokes.
Mastocytosis is a rare myeloproliferative neoplas-tic (MPN) disorder caused by misshapen, overac-tive or an abundance of mast cells in various or-gans, tissues and/or systems in the body. Masto-cytosis affects skin (cutaneous form), internal organs (systemic form), and/or bone marrow (aggressive form). Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) MCAS is similar to Mastocytosis except the num-ber or shape of the mast cells may appear nor-mal. However, MCAS causes mast cells to de-granulate excessively and release histamine, heparin and other chemicals into the system. This degranulation creates many unpleasant and sometimes life-threatening symptoms (like ana-phylaxis) in patients with both Mastocytosis and MCAS.
