VEXAS syndrome is a complex hemato-inflammatory disorder, driven by somatic mutations in the UBA1 gene within hematopoietic precursor cells. It is characterized by systemic inflammation, rheumatological manifestations, and frequent association with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). We present a series of four VEXAS cases, all of which include concomitant MDS, each displaying distinct genetic signatures and clinical features at diagnosis, with a focus on their diagnostic and therapeutic implications.

Hypomethylating agents (HMA) have shown promise in VEXAS patients with concomitant myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), while the efficacy of HMA in VEXAS patients without MDS is largely unknown.
