Somatic Mutations in <i>UBA1</i> and Severe Adult-Onset Autoinflammatory Disease

Abstract

Using a genotype-driven approach, we identified a disorder that connects seemingly unrelated adult-onset inflammatory syndromes. We named this disorder the VEXAS (vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic) syndrome.
