Decreased DNA demethylation in the blood DNA of patients with ISM confirms that epigenetic alterations are involved in mastocytosis pathology. We observed a possible role of allergy as an important epigenetic modifier. There is a possible association between KIT mutations and the methylation status observed in human mast cell lines.
