The question
Hi Dr Sher,
Thanks to you, I have an amazing 5 year old daughter named Amelia, from your last batch of IVF protocols in Las Vegas. Shes doing wonderful and really is our miracle baby.
While undergoing treatment with you, I had elevated natural killer cells and my husband and I were a partial match on the DQ Alpha gene.
Later in life, I have lots of crazy symptoms, and someone suggested looking into MCAS- Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. Now I’m wondering if there is any connection or correlation between the two? Could having elevated NK cells make you more prone to having MCAS, or vice versa?
Thanks for your time!
Hilary
Answer from Dr. Geoffrey Sher
I wish I had an answer for you on this issue...but although I suspect there could be a link to autoimmune, IID , there is no data to support this.. There is however unlikely to be a link with alloimmune IID (DQ alpha/HLA matching/NKa+).
Thanks for the kind sentiments!
Geoff Sher
