Mast Cell Activation Syndromes - TMS - The Mast Cell Disease Society, Inc Primary MCAS happens when a group of mast cells in the body grows abnormally due to a genetic change This can be linked to conditions like mastocytosis or Monoclonal Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MMAS) If a person has primary MCAS along with mastocytosis, they must meet the criteria for both MCAS and mastocytosis to be diagnosed
An Overview of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome - Verywell Health Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) is a disorder in which mast cells, a normal type of cell found in your immune system, release excessive amounts of histamines and other chemicals that lead to allergy-like symptoms in your body People living with MCAS may experience common allergic symptoms like itching and sneezing
