Pathways affected by asbestos exposure in normal and tumour tissue of lung cancer patients
Background Studies on asbestos-induced tumourigenesis have indicated the role of, e.g., reactive oxygen/nitrogen species, mitochondria, as well as NF-κB and MAPK signalling pathways.

Unmasking VEXAS syndrome: a rare case with crescentic glomerulonephritis [PDF]
Introduction: VEXAS (vacuoles, E1-enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammation, and somatic) syndrome is a newly recognized autoinflammatory hematologic condition due to mutations in the UBA1 gene.

Monitoring Variant Allele Fraction in VEXAS Syndrome: A Comparison of Digital PCR and Next‐Generation Sequencing [PDF]
Background VEXAS syndrome is an adult‐onset, X‐linked autoinflammatory disorder resulting from somatic variations in the UBA1 gene. Aim To evaluate the adequacy of the digital PCR (dPCR) to follow up the variant allele frequency (VAF) on response to the ...

Case report: VEXAS syndrome and literature review [PDF]
VEXAS syndrome (Vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, Autoinflammatory, Somatic) is a novel disorder first described in 2020. Patients are diagnosed by identifying a somatic mutation of the ubiquitin-like modifier-activating enzyme 1 (UBA1) gene.

Case Report: Diagnostic challenges in VEXAS syndrome with novel ultrastructural lung findings: IgG4-RD and vasculitis as relevant differential diagnoses [PDF]
VEXAS syndrome is a rare, adult-onset autoinflammatory disorder caused by somatic mutations in the UBA1 gene. Patients may present with symptoms similar to IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) or systemic vasculitis. We report the case of a 70-year-old man who

VEXAS syndrome in myelodysplastic syndrome with autoimmune disorder
VEXAS (vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic) syndrome is a newly-described adult-onset inflammatory syndrome characterized by vacuoles in myeloid and erythroid precursor cells and somatic mutations affecting methionine-41 (p.Met41) in

Somatic Mutations in UBA1 and Severe Adult-Onset Autoinflammatory Disease [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Adult-onset inflammatory syndromes often manifest with overlapping clinical features. Variants in ubiquitin-related genes, previously implicated in autoinflammatory disease, may define new disorders. METHODS: We analyzed peripheral-blood
