All cases were confirmed via genetic testing, revealing pathogenic UBA1 mutations alongside other genetic variants commonly linked with myeloid neoplasms.DiscussionThese findings underscore the importance of considering VEXAS syndrome in patients with unexplained inflammatory and hematologic symptoms. …”
