NEW YORK, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --VEXAS is an acronym for: Vacuoles, E1 ubiquitin Activating Enzyme, X-linked, Autoinflammatory, Somatic, with each letter representing one of the hallmark features of this novel autoinflammatory syndrome¹,². The discovery of VEXAS syndrome is revolutionary because it demonstrated that autoimmune disorders previously thought to be unrelated to each other, like relapsing polychondritis (RP), polyarteritis nodosa, Sweet syndrome, and giant cell arteritis, share a common acquired, somatic mutation in the UBA1 gene². UBA1 gene mutations result in the decreased production of an enzyme that breaks-down misfolded proteins and are clinically associated with systemic inflammation, anemia, and bone marrow dysplasia.

Key Points: 
  • To learn more about VEXAS and the research that the RP Foundation's support is expanding upon, check out the following articles:

  • The Race for RP drives awareness and accelerates research support for the Relapsing Polychondritis Foundation.
  • We're working with the Relapsing Polychondritis Foundation to facilitate research and studies to help diagnose, prevent, and cure RP and its related diseases.
