VEXAS Syndrome Beyond UBA1: Genetic Architecture and the Role of Co-Occurring Somatic Mutations-A Focused Review.

Abstract excerpt

Vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic (VEXAS) syndrome is an adult-onset inflammatory disorder caused by acquired mutations in UBA1, the gene encoding the primary ubiquitin-activating enzyme. The recognition of VEXAS has transformed the current understanding of autoinflammatory disease by demonstrating that somatic alterations arising within hematopoietic stem cells can precipitate severe,...
