The syndrome was first reported in a paper in The New England Journal of Medicine in October 2020 by Beck et al who write.

Vexas grayson. NIH scientists led an international team of researchers toward discovery of a new adult-onset inflammatory disease abbreviated the VEXAS vacuoles E1 enzyme X-linked autoinflammatory somatic syndrome. Called the VEXAS vacuoles E1 enzyme X-linked auto-inflammatory somatic syndrome the disorder has the common feature of myeloid lineage-restricted UBA1 somatic mutationsWe observed that inflammation in the participants with the VEXAS syndrome is driven by mutant myeloid cells which outnumber wild-type myeloid cells explained Peter C. How do I recognize and treat the VEXAS syndrome.

Somatic Mutations in a Single Residue of UBA1 Cause VEXAS a Severe Adult-Onset Rheumatic Disease Presenting as Relapsing. Recently we discovered myeloid-restricted somatic mutations in UBA1 in patients with a spectrum of adult-onset inflammatory diseases and 60 of these patients were diagnosed with RP. This article was published on.

1 article PMID. This newly defined syndrome is named VEXAS vacuoles E1 X-linked autoinflammatory somatic. Using a genotype-driven approach we identified a disorder that connects seemingly unrelated adult-onset inflammatory syndromes.

Researchers have discovered a new inflammatory disorder called vacuoles E1 enzyme X-linked autoinflammatory and somatic syndrome VEXAS which is caused by mutations in the UBA1 gene. Or igina l A rt icl e. Kastner and Grayson contributed equally to this article.

We named this disorder the VEXAS vacuoles E1 enzyme X-linked autoinflammatory. Relapsing polychondritis RP is a rare heterogenous systemic inflammatory disease with a predilection for cartilaginous structures. Rieu JB El Kassir A Largeaud L Dion J Comont T.
