ABSTRACT

VEXAS is a hemato-inflammatory syndrome caused by a somatic mutation in “UBA1”. Allogeneic transplantation is the only potential curative option for this syndrome; however, the available evidence is scarce, non-randomized, and retrospective. Here, we aim to collect and discuss the existing data. Further prospective trials with larger patient cohorts are needed to determine the optimal timing and indication for allogeneic transplantation in this rare syndrome.

Keywords: Hemato-inflammatory syndrome; Allogeneic stem cell transplantation; Auto-inflammation; Graft failure; Graft versus host disease
