This leads researchers to assume that there is a heritable component to mastocytosis as well (e.g., other genes involved).[ref][ref] In addition to KIT mutations, systemic mastocytosis also has links to mutations in the JAK2, PDGFR, NRAS, RASGRP4, CBL, IL4, TET2, and IL13 genes.[ref] MicroRNAs are also involved in the regulation of KIT expression.[ref] Interestingly, about half of all kids with cutaneous mastocytosis tend to outgrow it and go into long-term remission

Drug development continues to face marked inefficiencies, with approximately 90% of drug candidates failing to reach approval despite extensive preclinical testing ( in vitro models, although cost-effective and suitable for high-throughput studies, lack the architectural complexity and biochemical microenvironment of human tissues
Nevertheless, lipidomic studies have not yielded any unexpected insights
