We report on 2 Asian siblings with X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis deficiency that arose from a novel deletion that presented with Epstein-Barr virus disease and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. This disease is ascribed to dysfunction in the nucleotide binding and oligomerization domain receptor pathway, tested using a modified muramyl dipeptide-mediated assay.

Introduction: VEXAS syndrome (vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic), recently described, due to a somatic mutation of the UBA1 gene and often associated with hemopathy, is characterized by systemic symptoms close to those described in Still's disease or relapsing polychondritis. There are also patients with hemopathy, presenting inflammatory symptoms reminiscent of those of VEXAS syndrome but without mutation of the UBA1 gene.
Case/discussion: Two male patients consulted for general signs, dermatological symptoms, arthralgia, chondritis and venous thrombosis, like patients in the French cohort suffering from VEXAS syndrome.
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors reduce albuminuria in patients with Fabry disease: a real-world case series.

Background: Fabry disease is a rare X-linked multisystem disease, with progressive proteinuric kidney disease contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality of these patients. Evidence shows that sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2Is) can reduce proteinuria and slow progression to end-stage kidney disease in both diabetic and non-diabetic kidney disease.
Aim: Evaluate the effects of SGLT2I on kidney function and albuminuria in patients with Fabry disease.
Phosphorylation of 'SDT-like' motifs in ATRX mediates its interaction with the MRN complex and is important for ALT pathway suppression.

Approximately 10-15% of human cancers are telomerase-negative and maintain their telomeres through a recombination-based process known as the alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) pathway. Loss of the alpha-thalassemia/mental retardation, X-linked (ATRX) chromatin remodeller is a common event in ALT-positive cancers, but is generally insufficient to drive ALT induction in isolation. We previously demonstrated that ATRX binds to the MRN complex, which is also known to be important in the ALT pathway, but the molecular basis of this interaction remained elusive.

X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) is an inherited retinal disorder due to mutations in retinoschisin 1, characterized by impaired central vision secondary to parafoveal cystic cavities and visual field loss by splitting through the retinal nerve fibre layer in the peripheral retina. It is the leading cause of juvenile macular degeneration in males, and currently there is no approved treatment but carbonic anhydrase inhibitors can be used. A retrospective review of the medical records of 17 children with confirmed XLRS seen in the Paediatric Ophthalmology Department of La Paz University Hospital from the 1st of January 2009 to the 1st of June of 2023 was conducted.
