VEXAS syndrome: a diagnostic puzzle

View through CrossRef
The VEXAS syndrome (vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic) is an adult-onset systemic autoinflammatory condition that is caused by an acquired deficiency of the UBA1 gene in hematopoietic progenitor cells. The clinical spectrum of the VEXAS syndrome currently comprises a broad range of phenotypes such as vasculitis, relapsing polychondritis and Sweet’s syndrome. In the past, VEXAS patients have left clinicians puzzled and the true nature of this disease has not been captured until late 2020. This viewpoint describes the relevant clinical features of the VEXAS syndrome and reviews different approaches to establish the diagnosis. Finally, future directions within the field of systemic inflammatory diseases caused by somatic mutations are being discussed.
