Hi, What are your thoughts on genes having to do with MCAS. I find many of my symptoms are the same as people with Long COVID. I have had some of these issues before COVID but my Dr says there is evidence of mold in my system. My EBV and other old viruses are consistently elevated out of range as well for a couple of years. Thank you !
You use clinvar on pubmed to find these?

Mast cell activation seems to be a common thread for many people with long Covid, whether due to viral persistence or other triggers.
Here are a couple of articles that you may find interesting:

I've also written an article on mast cell activation, but to be honest, the genetics research there isn't very impressive: https://www.geneticlifehacks.com/mast-cells/
