Novel causative variants of VEXAS in UBA1 detected through whole genome transcriptome sequencing in a large cohort of hematological malignancies

Abstract excerpt

Abstract UBA1 is an X-linked gene and encodes an ubiquitin-activating enzyme. Three somatic mutations altering the alternative start codon (M41) in UBA1 in hematopoietic precursor cells have recently been described, resulting in a syndrome of severe inflammation, cytopenias, and the presence of intracellular vacuoles in hematopoietic precursors - termed VEXAS syndrome, a predominantly male disease. Here we...
