Importance: VEXAS syndrome (vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic) is a monogenic disease caused by UBA1 somatic variants in hematopoietic progenitor cells, mostly involving adult men. It is associated with inflammatory-related symptoms, frequently involving the skin and hematological disorders. Recently described myelodysplasia cutis (MDS-cutis) is a cutaneous manifestation of myelodysplasia in which clonal myelodysplastic cells infiltrate the skin.

Background: VEXAS syndrome, a recently identified systemic autoinflammatory disorder, poses new diagnostic and management challenges. Based on experience with other autoinflammatory diseases, anti-interleukin (IL)-1, anti-IL-6, anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) biotechnological agents, and Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKis) have been widely employed in VEXAS patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate the global effectiveness and safety of biotechnological agents and JAKis using data from the real-world context.

VEXAS is an acronym that stands for the technical terms of key descriptors of the condition: vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, and somatic (VEXAS) syndrome, which is a recently identified autoinflammatory disorder primarily affecting men older than 50 years of age. It is commonly associated with a somatic mutation in the X-linked ubiquitin-activating enzyme-encoding gene. This condition manifests in a range of hematologic and systemic inflammatory symptoms, such as cytopenias, recurrent fevers, and an elevated risk for hematologic malignancies like myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
