VEXAS syndrome with severe multisystem involvement: Rapid recovery after splenectomy

Fatih Yildirim et al.

Summary: VEXAS syndrome, a newly defined disorder, poses challenges regarding treatment options. A case report of a patient with atypical symptoms and an intriguing treatment course is presented. The patient exhibited fatigue, recurring fever, lung infiltrates, proteinuria, anemia, leucopenia, transient skin rash, and elevated acute phase reactants. Corticosteroid tapering was not well tolerated, but rapid recovery was achieved following diagnostic splenectomy, which revealed significant findings upon pathological examination.

Allogeneic stem cell transplantation as a curative therapeutic approach for VEXAS syndrome: a case report

Michael Loschi et al.

Summary: VEXAS syndrome is a disease associated with somatic mutation of UBA1, causing inflammatory symptoms in the skin, joints, and lungs. Most patients do not respond to standard anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressive treatments and eventually develop hematological diseases, with a poor prognosis. A case report demonstrates successful treatment of a VEXAS patient through allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Adult-onset autoinflammation caused by somatic mutations in UBA1: A Dutch case series of patients with VEXAS

Caspar van der Made et al.

Summary: A novel autoinflammatory syndrome called VEXAS has been discovered in male patients with somatic mutations in the UBA1 gene. This study retrospectively diagnosed VEXAS in previously unclassified autoinflammatory patients and described the clinical experiences with this complex disease. Through reanalysis of whole-exome sequencing data, 12 male patients with UBA1 mutations were identified. These patients experienced adult-onset autoinflammation with systemic symptoms, elevated inflammatory parameters, and multiorgan involvement, particularly affecting the skin and bone marrow. New features of VEXAS included interstitial nephritis, cardiac involvement, stroke, and intestinal perforation related to tocilizumab treatment. Despite various treatments, most patients were treatment-refractory, leading to a high mortality rate of 50%.

Case Report: Genetic Double Strike: VEXAS and TET2-Positive Myelodysplastic Syndrome in a Patient With Long-Standing Refractory Autoinflammatory Disease

Fabian Loetscher et al.

Summary: Somatic genetic mutations involving innate and inflammasome signaling are important in the pathogenesis of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). This study describes a patient with a long-standing refractory autoinflammatory syndrome (AIS) that was ultimately diagnosed as TET-2-positive MDS. The patient showed unresponsive multisystemic autoinflammatory disease, hematological abnormalities, and characteristic vacuoles in myeloid- and erythroid progenitors. Genetic testing confirmed the diagnosis of VEXAS syndrome, a recently discovered disease characterized by somatic mutations of the UBA1 gene.

Successful allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with VEXAS syndrome: a 2-center experience

Summary: VEXAS syndrome is caused by somatic mutations in the UBA1 gene. Patients with VEXAS syndrome often display late-onset autoinflammatory symptoms and hematologic abnormalities. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) has shown promising outcomes in some patients, but further clinical trials are needed to determine its efficacy and place in the treatment arsenal for VEXAS syndrome.

Case Report: Coexistence of Multiple Myeloma and Auricular Chondritis in VEXAS Syndrome

Haruki Matsumoto et al.

Summary: This case report describes a patient with VEXAS syndrome presenting with auricular chondritis and multiple myeloma (MM). The patient developed progressive macrocytic anemia and inflammation of both ears after treatment for MM. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of auricular chondritis. Further evaluation revealed vacuoles in myeloid precursor cells in the bone marrow and a somatic UBA1 variant consistent with VEXAS syndrome. The possible relationship between auricular chondritis and MM in the context of VEXAS syndrome is discussed.

Summary: Vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic syndrome (VEXAS syndrome) is a recently described genetic disorder characterized by autoinflammatory symptoms and myeloid dysplasia. This paper reports the first case of VEXAS syndrome in Colombia and South America, presenting with supraglottic larynx involvement and costochondritis. The unique features and poor response to treatment can aid in the diagnosis of VEXAS syndrome, which can be confused with other diseases such as relapsing polychondritis and polyarteritis nodosa.

Summary: VEXAS syndrome, a newly identified disorder, is often associated with adult-onset inflammatory syndromes and myelodysplastic syndrome, caused by somatic mutations in the UBA1 gene leading to decreased cellular ubiquitylation activity and hyperinflammation. Patients may present with mild rash and polyarthritis, while in some cases, complications such as macrophage activation syndrome may develop and require anti-IL6 therapy for symptom resolution.
