Myelodysplasia and Bone Marrow Manifestations of Somatic UBA1 Mutated Autoinflammatory Disease

Somatic mutations in UBA1 in hematopoietic stem cells and myeloid cells have recently been described and are associated with adult-onset severe autoinflammatory diseases including relapsing polychondritis, Sweet syndrome, polyarteritis nodosa, and giant cell arteritis. This newly defined syndrome is named VEXAS (vacuoles, E1, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic). We performed clinicopathologic, cytogenetic, flow cytometric and molecular bone...
